Several wrinkly deteriorating apples in my fridge and some luscious looking recipes online inspired me to make this. Dark, moist, fragrant, sweet and festively spiced with chewy chunks of soft fruit and the added bite of nuts- NOM NOM NOM.
Sticky Apple Cake
Makes one large-ish (about 13" x 9") rectangular pan's worth of oooey-gooey cake
Stir together and let soak for at least an hour:
150g sultanas
Generous glug of brandy
Melt 225g butter, then leave aside to cool.
Combine in a bowl and whisk with an electric mixer for a few minutes until thick and pale:
2 eggs
300g dark muscovado sugar
100g white granulated sugar
Add and fold until well-mixed:
The melted butter
The soaked sultanas
2 large green apples, cored and chopped
100g nuts, toasted and chopped (I used hazelnuts but use whatever you want)
250g plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 tsp mixed spice
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Dash of ground nutmeg
Pour into a lined 13" x 9" rectangular baking tray and bake for about 1hr 15 mins at 160C (or 140C fan-assisted). Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tempting recipe, nice and generous amount of Brandy always welcome too.

ReplyDeleteThe sticky apple cake was amazing. All my family loved it! Thank you for this recipe, which I know I will make again and again. Do you know if it freezes well? Linda.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, yes it probably freezes great, most cakes do :)
DeleteLoved this. Only used 250 grammes of sugar and still delicious.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it!:)
ReplyDeleteSamantha this is *insanely* good..I froze half of it immediately else it would have disappeared in my house in a couple of days!
ReplyDeleteDo you yourself ever eat any of these wicked treats? you look so amazingly slim it is hard to believe :)
It's now in my ''most delicious and fattening recipes ever" folder..
haha thanks Helen! Of course I eat them, but I usually wait for an occasion to bake for someone/some event so I can share ;) glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteI am planning on making this for work event. What kind of mixed spices do you use? Thanks Robin
ReplyDeleteHi Robin! In the UK "mixed spice" is sold in jars and usually a sweet blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, cardamom and sometimes lemon peel. If you're in the US you can buy "pumpkin pie spice" in stores. Sometimes I just use some cinnamon and nutmeg, they do an adequate job. Happy baking!:)
