About the bake
A piece of this cake is made even tastier with a scoop of clotted cream.
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180C (fan 160C, gas mark 4). Grease and base line a 27cm x 20cm baking tray.
Step 2
Toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice and put to one side.
Step 3
In a large bowl beat together the butter, sugars, eggs, almond extract, lemon zest, flour, ground almonds, baking powder and milk until smooth using an electric whisk.
Step 4
Evenly spread half the cake mixture into the baking tray and scatter over the apples, leaving any lemon juice behind.
Step 5
Top with the remaining cake mixture, don’t worry if the apples peak through.
Step 6
Sprinkle with flaked almonds and demerara sugar and bake in the oven for 50 minutes until golden and springs back when touched, cover with foil if browning too much.
Step 7
Leave to cool in tin for 15 minutes before turning out, removing the paper and cutting into 12.
