Apple & Cinnamon Cake
Gluten Free and easily made egg and dairy free too. This Apple & Cinnamon Cake is a firm favourite of mine, it comes out delicious every time no matter what apple is in season. Why not try with a Bramley or a Cox, slightly different taste, same scrumptious results.

Ingredients
- 180 g butter or butter alternative (I use Flora plant butter)
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 3 egg(s) flax seed egg alternative
- 200 ml dairy free milk I used almond milk on this occasion
- 250 g gluten free self raising flour I use Fairy Flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 4 apple(s) peeled and cored
The topping
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp demerara sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 160°C Fan/ Gas 4
- Prepare a 20cm round cake tin
- Cream the sugar and butter until light and add the egg (or flaxseed eggs)
- Add the flour and cinnamon and beat to combine
- Pour the milk into the batter a little at a time until you get a soft dropping batter, you may find you don't need all 200ml.
- Add 2/3 of the mixture to the cake tin.
- Cover the cake mixture with an even layer of apple slices, make sure they reach the edges.
- Pour over the last 1/3 of the cake mixture, don't worry if some apple still shows.
- Mix the demerera sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the top of the cake.
- Add to the oven and bake for 1 hour.
Notes
You can use a 400g tin of apple pie filling if you want a short cut and other spices for well too, try mixed spice or nutmeg?
