Ingredients
For the cake
- 250 g Butter or baking spread softened, unsalted
- 300 g Light brown soft sugar
- 4 Eggs large
- 150 g Natural yoghurt
- 2 medium Apples Peeled, cored and diced
- 360 g Self raising flour
- 1 ½ tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Mixed spice
- ½ tsp Nutmeg
- ¼ tsp Salt optional
For decoration
- 175 g Caramel sauce good quality shop bought or homemade
- 11 pieces Dried apple you may need more or less depending on size
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 150C Fan/170C/325F/Gas Mark 3, and grease and flour a 10" x 3.5" (2.4 litre capacity) bundt tin
- Mix the butter and sugar together until smooth, ideally using an electric mixer
- Add the eggs and yoghurt, and whisk in well
- Add the self raising flour and all of the spices. Whisk in gently until you can't see any flour anymore
- Gently mix in the apple pieces
- Pour the batter into the tin
- Bake for 1 hour or until a thin skewer or cocktail stick inserted comes out clean
- Remove the cake from the tin by placing a cooling rack on top of the tin and flipping it over then removing the tin. You may need to run a knife gently around the edge and centre of the tin. Leave to cool completely
- Once the cake is cool, warm the caramel for 30 seconds in the microwave then pour it over the cake, letting it drizzle down the sides
- Decorate with the dried apple pieces
- Serve immediately. Store leftovers an airtight container and eat within 3 days
Notes
- Make sure all your ingredients (particularly the butter, yoghurt and eggs) are at room temperature before you start baking.
- I prefer to use a baking spread (I use Stork) when making cakes as I find it makes them fluffier and lighter. You can use butter instead if you prefer.
- I used Pink Lady apples but any sweet eating apples will be suitable for this recipe.
- Mixed spice is a British spice blend containing Cinnamon, Coriander Seed, Nutmeg, Clove, Pimento, Ginger. If you can't get hold of it, use a Pumpkin Spice mix instead. Or try 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ ground ginger, ¼ ground nutmeg, ¼ ground cloves.
- If you need a caramel sauce recipe, try my Homemade Caramel Sauce.
- Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
- For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
