Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 250 g self raising flour
  • 175 g butter
  • 175 g light brown sugar
  • 1 small eating apple (peeled and cored)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp orange extract
  • 200 g redcurrants (stalks removed)

Instruction

  • Grease and line your cake tin, I used a loaf liner in my 2 lb loaf tin.
  • Weigh out the flour, butter and sugar and place in a large bowl. Rub the ingredients together with your fingers, like making crumble, until you have the texture of fine breadcrumbs.
  • Grate your apple into a bowl using a cheese grater, and mix it into the eggs and orange extract.
  • Stir the apple and egg mixture into the flour and butter mixture, and mix until just combined.
  • Add about three quarters of the redcurrants and mix in.
  • Scrape the cake batter into your tin and spread it out.
  • Spread the remaining redcuarrants on top and press them in lightly. Remember to keep a few back to decorate the cake with.
  • Bake at 180 degrees for around 45 minutes, until lightly brown and a skewer in the centre comes out clean.
