Apple Pound Cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C. In the mixing bowl, mix the softened butter and sugar* for 30 seconds / speed 3, until you have a creamy texture. Next, add the eggs, a pinch of salt and mix again for 30 seconds / speed 3. *Check out our tips for this step

Step 2

If you have any, you can replace 1/4 of the flour with ground almonds, for an even more moist cake! Pour this into the first mixture, then mix for 10 sec / speed 3.

Step 3

Wash and peel the apples, and chop them into quarters.

Step 4

Put half the apples at the bottom of a greased loaf tin (We used a 29 x 10 cm dish here), cover with the batter and then add the rest of the apples. Sprinkle on a tsp sugar (Optional: if you have any, top with flaked almonds.)

Step 5

Bake for 220°C for 10 min, then lower the temperature to 180°C and cook for 30 min.

Step 6

Once the loaf is golden, plant the tip of a knife into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the loaf is ready, otherwise, bake it for another 2-3 min. Leave to cool before serving. Enjoy !
