A wonderfully moist and sticky cake.
Preparation time 20 mins, cooking time 1 hour.
To make a 9" cake you will need:
6 oz soft brown sugar
6 oz margarine
6 oz plain flour
4 oz mascarpone cheese
2 x medium eggs
1 1/2 x teaspoons baking powder
1 x teaspoon vanilla essence
1 x teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 x teaspoon salt
3 x medium Bramley apples, peeled, cored and grated.
1 oz soft brown sugar & 2 x teaspoons ground cinnamon for topping the cake.
Beat margarine and sugar together in a bowl. Add mascarpone cheese and vanilla essence and beat until smooth. Mix together flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl, then stir half of this into the mixture. Break and beat 1 egg into the mixture. Add the remaining dry ingredients and stir in, then crack and beat in egg number 2. Fold in grated apple, pour into 9" greased, springform tin. Sprinkle over cinnamon and sugar topping, bake at 350F for 30 minutes, then cover with a sheet of baking parchment and bake for a further 30 minutes.
Serve warm with vanilla ice-cream.
Baker's tip ~ peel and grate each apple directly into the mixture to keep the apple from going brown. This will help to preserve the sharp taste of the apple.
