Today we made Apple Spice Cake!
cake: 8 oz cooking apples, peeled and sliced, 3oz muscovado sugar, 4oz golden syrup, 3oz butter, 6oz flour, 1/2t baking powder, 1t ginger, 1t cinnamon, 1 egg
frosting: 1 3/4 – 2C powdered sugar, 2T water, 1T cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350F.
Cook sliced apples with 1t sugar and enough water to prevent burning. Stew until tender. Mash and cool.
In separate saucepan, heat golden syrup, butter and remaining sugar until sugar has dissolved. Cool. Sift dry ingredients into a bowl.
In separate bowl, whisk egg.
Add the cooled syrup mixture and continue mixing well. Add to the flour, with mashed apple. Blend well. Pour into greased, parchment-paper-lined loaf pan.
Bake 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned and set in the middle. Cool.
Sift powdered sugar and cinnamon into water. Mix and continue adding sugar until barely pourable. Spread on cooled cake.
