    Apple Tea Cake

    Earlier this week, after a disastrous outing with the boys, I visited a newly opened woolies  in one of the trendier inner city suburbs (it even has a coffee bar INSIDE the store)!  All of the produce looked super fresh, and when I saw large shiny Granny Smith Apples, I had to buy some. Originally I had set out to make apple and cinnamon muffins (which I probably will still do), but when looking through my Margaret Fulton ‘Baking’ book, I decided to try her recipe for Apple Tea Cake instead.  This recipe is different to other tea cakes I’ve made in the past – I’ve never whisked egg whites for this kind of cake before.  I didn’t have an 18cm round tin, I used my 20cm tin instead and the cake still looked fine.

    I’m a sucker for anything with apples in it, and I did enjoy the slice (a very small one) that I tried.  Compared to the Apple and Blueberry Cake I have previously made, I think I prefer the apple/blueberry combination better.

    Apple Tea Cake

    1 egg – separated

    ½ cup caster sugar

    ½ cup milk

    ½ teaspoon vanilla essence

    30g butter – melted

    1 cup self raising flour – sifted

    1 apple – peeled, cored and thinly sliced

    Topping

    1 tablespoon melted butter

    ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon mixed with 1 tablespoon caster sugar

    • Preheat over to 190 degrees and grease an 18cm round tin (I used a 20cm tin)
    • Whisk the egg white until stiff, gradually beat in the sugar, then egg yolk
    • Stir in the milk, vanilla and melted butter
    • Fold the flour carefully into mixture
    • Spoon into cake tin and arrange apple slices on the top
    • Bake for 20 – 25 minutes
    • When cooked, turn out and place top side up onto a wire rack. While still hot, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar

      This looks lovely! And one of the things I love about tea cakes is you don’t need to ice them or wait for them to cool before you ice 🙂
