Ingredients
Cake
- 500 g Cooking Apples (peeled & chopped weight)
- 300 g Unsalted Butter/Stork
- 300 g Light Brown Sugar (+ 50g)
- 300 g Self Raising Flour
- 6 Medium Eggs
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Buttercream
- 200 g Unsalted Butter (not stork)
- 500 g Icing Sugar
- 100 ml Toffee Sauce
Toffee Apples/Decoration
- 3-4 Mini Toffee Apples
- Sprinkles
Instructions
For the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line two 8" tins with parchment paper.
- Peel and core the apples, and chop into 2cm size pieces.
- Cover the apples with the 50g extra Light Brown Sugar and leave to the side for now.
- Beat together the Unsalted Butter and Light Brown Sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the Self Raising Flour, Eggs and Cinnamon and beat till smooth - it won't take long at all.
- Fold through the apple, and separate between the two tins.
- Bake the cakes in oven for 40-45 minutes, or until baked through. A skewer should come out clean, and the cake shouldn't be making a bubbling sound.
- Leave the cakes to cool in the tins for 10 minutes or so, then move to a wire rack to cool fully.
For the Frosting
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature.
- Beat the butter on its own for a couple of minutes to make sure its nice and smooth.
- Add in the Icing Sugar 1/2 at a time, beating fully before adding in the rest.
- Add in the Toffee Sauce and beat again till its smooth and a lovely frosting has been formed!
For the Decoration
- Get your first cake, and pipe on half of the buttercream frosting.
- Add on the second cake, and pipe on more frosting.
- Top the cakes with your mini Toffee Apples if you're using them, and sprinkle over some cute sprinkles!
Notes
- The Mini Toffee Apples on top are optional, they just fit with the theme.
- I used bramley apples (baking/cooking apples) as they're the best to use - regular eating apples will be too soft.
- You can use my Butterscotch Sauce for the frosting, or buy toffee sauce from the supermarket.
- This cake will last for 3 days in a cake box at room temperature.
- Buy enough apples for about 700g worth, so once you have removed the core and peel you'll have about 500g worth of apple.
