A unique yet simple apple cake that is guaranteed to lift your spirits. The special thing about this cake is that the apples are thinly sliced and mixed straight into the batter. As the cake bakes, the thin slices disappear almost completely into the batter, making it incredibly moist and giving it that natural apple flavour, which spreads evenly throughout the whole cake. Perfect for grey days and little breaks – best enjoyed while still slightly warm and with a dusting of icing sugar on top.
