  • Cake

  • 420g cake flour
  • 5ml (1 tsp) baking soda
  • 5ml (1 tsp) cinnamon
  • 1,25ml (1/4 tsp) salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 420g castor sugar

  • 250ml (1 cup) milk
  • 115g butter

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 175°C. For the cake, sieve the flour, baking soda and cinnamon together. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs using an electric whisk, about 5 minutes. Add the sugar and oil and continue to beat, 3 minutes. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients. Fold in the apples, pecan nuts and vanilla, pour the batter into a greased 25cmdiameter spring form and bake in the oven, about 75 – 90 minutes. Leave to cool.

2

For the butterscotch sauce, combine all the ingredients in a saucepan over high heat and bring to a full boil, 10 minutes.

3

Once the cake has cooled slightly, loosen the sides, invert onto a plate then invert onto another plate, topping side up. To serve, pour the butterscotch sauce over the cake while still warm. Decorate with the baby apples.
