Serves: 8-10
What you'll need
  • 150g raw sugar (or caster sugar)
  • 125g butter, room temperature
  • 3 eggs
  • vanilla
  • 200g plain flour with 1 tsp baking powder (or use self raising flour)
  • 2-3 apples or fruit of your choice
Instructions
  1. Place raw sugar in thermomix bowl and process for 10 seconds on speed 9.
  2. Add in butter, eggs, dash of vanilla, baking powder and plain flour and process for 20-30 seconds on speed 6.
  3. Pour into a lined square or round cake tin and scrape out the mixture from your TM bowl. It's actually not a huge cake batter so you want to get all of it out.
  4. If you don't have a thermomix then just cream your butter, caster sugar and vanilla together. Add in the eggs and mix well then the flour and baking powder and pour into a lined tin.
  5. Top with sliced fruit. You can peel the apples, cut into four pieces and then run a knife in lines down the apple as if you are slicing but don't cut through to the very bottom and arrange nicely over the top of your cake batter. Don't press down and top with a dash of sugar and generous dusting of cinnamon.
  6. Also a punnet of washed and dried blueberries is perfect on top too. Whatever you have will work so long as it isn't too wet.
  7. Bake cake for 30-40 minutes in a 180 degrees oven. Mine takes about 35 minutes.
  8. Gluten free flour is also great in this recipe.
