Apple, Ginger & Honey Cake Recipe: Veggie

Ingredients
Method

Ingredients:

200g unsalted butter, softened
75g golden caster sugar
175g clear honey
3 free-range eggs
250g self-raising flour
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 apple, cored and cut into 1cm chunks

For the topping:

1 apple, cored and sliced
50g honey

method:

Preheat the oven to 160C/320F/Gas 3. Grease a 20cm-round cake tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment. Using electric beaters, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy; about 3-4 minutes. Beat in the honey, then the eggs, one at a time. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, adding a pinch of salt. Fold into the creamed mixture, then stir through the apple chunks.
Tip the mixture into the tin and arrange the sliced apple over the top. Bake for 60-75 minutes, until set on top and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean (cover loosely with a sheet of foil after about 45-55 minutes if it starts to look too dark on top). Leave to cool in the tin.
When the cake is cool, remove it from the tin. Warm the remaining 50g of honey in a pan or the microwave, and spoon or brush over the cake.
