• 2 large apples
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 60 g light brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 100 g icing sugar
• 2 tbsp milk

Instructions

1. Prepare the cake mix by combining 115g softened salted butter and 130g granulated sugar.
2. Add 2 large eggs at room temperature to the cake mix.
3. Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the cake mix.
4. Add 180g of self-raising flour to the cake mix.
5. Add 120ml of milk to the cake mix. Any type of milk can be used, skimmed milk was used in the original recipe.
6. Prepare the apple mix by combining 2 large peeled and diced apples with 2 tbsp of granulated sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon.
7. Prepare the cinnamon sugar by combining 60g of light brown sugar with 1 tsp of cinnamon.
8. Prepare the glaze by combining 100g of icing sugar with 1-3 tbsp of milk. Use less milk for a thicker glaze and more milk for a thinner glaze. The original recipe used 2 tbsp of milk.
9. Bake the cake in a 3lbs loaf tin until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs on it. Be careful not to over bake as it will result in a drier cake.
