Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease and line a round or square cake tin (20–22 cm).
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine:
-
flour
-
both sugars
-
baking powder
-
baking soda
-
cinnamon
-
nutmeg
-
salt
Stir until evenly mixed.
3. Add the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together:
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined.
Add the diced apples and mix them in lightly.
4. Assemble and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
If using the topping, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
Add a few thin apple slices if you want a decorative look.
Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Serving
Let the cake cool slightly before slicing.
It pairs well with tea, ice cream, or a warm custard.
