Silvia Colloca Instagram – Giving in to these soft autumnal mornings with a warm apple and berry cake. 💕
100 g unsalted butter, melted
4 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
½ medium lemon, zest and juice
pinch of salt
2 cups self-raising flour
2 large eggs
200 g (scant 1 cup) soft brown sugar
150 ml apple sauce
1 punnet fresh blackberries or blueberries/raspberries
whipped thickened cream, for serving
1. Preheat the oven to 170ºC. Line the base and sides of a 20 cm round tin with baking paper. Toss the sliced apples in a bowl with the lemon juice and zest and set aside.
2. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs with the sugar. Add salt. Sift in the flour, mix then add the apple sauce and the melted butter. Mix the apple slices through and half of the blackberries.
3. Pour the batter in the tin, level with a spoon and top with remaining blackberries. Bake for about 60-65 minutes. The top should be caramel brown and the cake soft-yet-firm to touch. To be sure, insert a stick into the middle of the cake, if it comes out clean, the cake is baked, otherwise give it another 2-3 minutes and test again.
4. Cool in the tin for 1 hour, then transfer to a plate and serve with whipped cream. | Posted on 07/Apr/2024 03:24:16
