The recipe for Annabel Langbein’s One Pot Spiced Apple Cake is a delicious autumn treat that is easy to make and takes under an hour from start to finish. The perfect treat for when you want something sweet but don’t feel like spending hours in the kitchen. The cake is moist, lightly spiced and packed full of flavour. Combining apples, cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of orange, this is sure to be a hit with the whole family.

Ingredients

For the cake you will need: 175g butter, 3/4 cup caster sugar, 2 eggs, 2 cups of self-raising flour, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of finely grated orange zest, 2 cups of peeled and diced apples and 1/4 cup of orange juice.

Instructions

To make the cake, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit). In a large bowl, beat together the butter and caster sugar until light and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, and then stir in the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange zest. Add the diced apples and orange juice, and stir until everything is just combined - don’t overmix. Grease a 22cm (9 inch) round springform cake tin, and pour the batter into it. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions

This cake is delicious served simply with a dollop of cream or natural yoghurt. You could also serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, or a drizzle of your favourite caramel or butterscotch sauce. Annabel Langbein suggests adding a sprinkle of toasted almonds for a bit of crunch.

Storing

Once the cake has cooled completely, it can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake, wrapped in plastic wrap and then foil, for up to 3 months. To defrost, simply leave it at room temperature for a few hours or overnight.

Make it gluten-free?

To make this recipe gluten-free, simply substitute the self-raising flour for a gluten-free self-raising flour alternative. You can also use almond meal in place of the self-raising flour for a nutty flavour. Be sure to check the ingredients list of any gluten-free flour alternative you purchase, to ensure it is free from any allergens.

Make it vegan?

To make this recipe vegan, substitute the butter for vegan butter and the eggs for a vegan egg substitute. You can also use coconut milk or any other plant-based milk instead of the orange juice. Be sure to check the ingredients list of any vegan butter or egg alternative you purchase, to ensure they are free from any allergens.

Tips

For the best results, use tart apples such as Granny Smith or Pink Lady apples. The tartness of the apples will help balance out the sweetness of the cake. If you don’t have any of these types of apples, you can use any apples that are in season. Be sure to peel and dice the apples before adding them to the cake batter.

For an extra bit of flavour, try adding a tablespoon of brandy or rum to the cake batter. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of ground cloves for an extra depth of flavour.
