Whilst making my bread mixture today I had a brainwave…instead of making two simple loaves why not make one normal and one fruity loaf! GENIUS! I know, no need to applaud just yet!
I have been toying with making an apple cake/loaf for a few days now, and today was my chance to try it out. Success it was and I have it on good authority (mum, again) that it tastes good, moist, just sweet enough and rather delicious with your cup of tea or coffee of a morning or afternoon!
I could and probably would normally use cooking apples but all I had to hand was a rosy apple, so I used that. It was really very simple to make and here is the recipe:
Apple and Cinnamon Loaf
Ingredients
- 4 oz Almond flour
- 1.5 oz Milled flaxseed
- 1.5 oz Mixed seeds
- 1 oz Chopped nuts
- 1.5 oz Organic unsalted butter
- 3 Eggs
- 1 Red apple (pink lady should do the sweet thing)
- 2 Tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 Tsp vanilla essence
Directions
- Pre-heat a fan assisted oven to 170°c
- Chop the apple into small pieces and put to one side leaving several slices to decorate the top if you like
- Measure all of the dry ingredients and mix into a bowl
- Measure and rub in the butter
- Whisk and add the eggs
- Measure and add the vanilla and cinnamon
- Butter a loaf or cake tin
- Add half of the mixture to the tin, spread and even out
- Add the chopped apple to the central part leaving a small area around the outside
- Add the remainder of the mixture on top of the apple pieces and using a fork spread and flatten
- Add the slices of apple for decoration
- Place on the top shelf for 15-20 min or until risen and golden in colour and hollow to the tap
- Tip out, allow to cool on a rack and then sit down to a generous slice and enjoy!!!
P.s…I made two small loaves…so if you feel it needs more time, test with a skewer in the centre after 15 minutes and decide for yourselves!
Yummers! Enjoy cakeykins! JL x
