Kerry Apple Cake

As this cake is featured in this month’ blog header I thought I should give you the whole recipe…

Kerry Apple Cake

175g butter
175g caster sugar
2 eggs, beaten
225g self-raising flour
2 medium cooking apples, peeled and chopped
1tsp lemon rind1
2tsp demerara sugar2
pinch cinnamon
pinch nutmeg

Preheat oven to 180°C and grease and line a 900g loaf tin.

Cream butter and sugar. Gradually add eggs and flour. Stir in apples and lemon rind.

Pour into the tin and sprinkle with sugar and spices. Bake for 1 – 1 1/2 hours.

I sprinkled the cake with my own dried flowers mix.

In the recipe at Irelandseye.com it says that this cake does not keep very well and therfore should be eaten quickly ;o) Now that I’ve tasted it I should say this should not be a problem at all!

Its best eaten warm with cream or Greek-style yoghurt or even with cheese but I have to admit I did not try the last one…
