Apple Tea Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Line a large cake tin with baking paper, and pre heat oven to 180 degrees celcius.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, mixed spice and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Gradually add eggs, beating mix after each addition. The mixture may separate at this point, this is natural so either ignore it (as i do) or add a tablespoon of the flour mix to 'settle' it down.
• Carefully fold in dry ingredients, alternating with apple.
• Add milk if necessary to get a thick creamy texture.
• Turn cake into the tin, and top with apple slices (i like to make this into a nice pattern).
• Combine cinnamon and sugar, and sprinkle over apple slices.
• Bake for one hour, or until cake springs back to the touch.
• I find this cake doubles well, although you need to be careful of cooking time. It also freezes well.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and oil. Add the sugar, matzo, potato starch, and salt and mix until blended. Stir in the apples.
• Spray a 2 1/2-inch by 3 1/4-inch muffin tin with non-stick spray. Fill 3/4 full with the batter and dust with the cinnamon sugar. Bake until the tops spring back when pressed, about 15 to 18 minutes.
• Cool on a rack and remove from the tin when they are at room temperature.

Steps:

• 1. Step 1 Cream butter and sugar, add egg and beat well, add flour and milk gradually blending all carefully. Peel and slice apple thinly.
• 2. Step 2 Place mixture into a cake tin then arrange apples on top. Cook for about 40 mins or until skewer comes out clean in a 180c degrees oven. Remove from tin while hot butter the top and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.I use Demerara sugar

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150. Cream the butter with the sugar with an electric whisk for at least 2 mins
• Whisk in the 2 eggs
• Sieve the flour and cinnamon and ginger into the mixture and fold in. Add the chopped apple by folding in too
• Place in a greased or silicon loaf tin and bake for 40 mins. Put a skewer in the middle of cake to see if it comes out clean. If not cooked give it 5 mins longer
• After cooled for 10 mins place cake on a wire rack. When completely cooled drizzle melted chocolate on top if desired

Steps:

• Line 2 x 23cm springform cake tins with baking paper, and lightly grease them.
• Melt the butter and caster sugar by placing in a microwave-safe bowl, then microwaving on high for 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Peel, core and slice apples, then place in a microwave safe bowl, add water and cover with clingwrap. Pierce several holes in the clingwrap then microwave on high for 12 minutes. Carefully remove the clingwrap and tip the apples into a colander to drain excess moisture. Set aside.
• Put the butter mixture into the bowl of a mixer and aerate for 1 minute on medium speed. Add the eggs one at a time and mix on low speed. Add vanilla essence and mix through.
• Sift the flour into the bowl and gently fold through until the batter is smooth.
• Divide the batter between the 2 cake tins and smooth it out with a spatula. Top each cake with half the apple, half the slivered almonds, and sprinkle each with half the extra caster sugar.
• Bake in a preheated 160C oven for 20 minutes, then increase the temperature to 185C and cook for a further 10 minutes, or until the cakes are brown on top. The cakes are cooked when a skewer comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place butters in a bowl and microwave until melted, 30 to 45 seconds. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes. Arrange petit four cups on a large baking sheet. Combine almond paste and spreadable fruit in an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat at medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape inside of bowl to incorporate all ingredients. Beat in eggs and egg white one at a time. Beat in flour at low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Add butter and beat until blended, about 30 seconds. Pour batter into a 1-gallon plastic resealable bag. Force air from bag and seal. Snip 1/4-inch piece off one of the lower corners and pipe batter into cups, filling them three quarters full. Place a few apple cubes on top of each cup. Sift sugar over cakes. Bake until light golden, 26 minutes. Let cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
