This is Brent's Favourite cake.
185g Butter
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2/3 cup sugar (NB this is not a sweet cake so if you like sweet cakes add more sugar we don't like our cakes too sweet)
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 generous teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
5 -6 apples - preferably granny smiths or tartish apples. Got some soft bruised apples in fruit bowl? Good way to use them up - just cut out bruised bits.
Grease a 20cm tin. I've shared before I grease my pan then pop in freezer while I prepare cake never get a cake that sticks with this trick.
Cream butter & sugar add rind & beaten eggs until light & fluffy.
Stir in flour, baking powder & milk.
Peel apples & roughly dice. Fold apple dices into cake batter.
can you see the hunks of apple through the cake.Serve hot or cold - sprinkle with icing sugar & whipped cream to serve. Or just cut off a hunk & pack it in your husbands lunch - sure to be his favourite too.

Hi Leanne enjoy all the recipes and very clever ideas you have on your site. Have put some recipes into my notebook to try.

Hi Gina
Glad some of the recipes & ideas you are enjoying - I don;t get as much time on this blog as I want. I do want to record my recipes down for the kids.

Hi 185 grams not sure what that is in pounds - hopefully your scales are like mine & can do grams & pounds. I am a shocking cook - I swap from grams - pounds at a whim. My grandmother taught me to cook & she used oz & pounds & it has stuck with me.
Oh, I am so making this!! yummy, yum, yum!!!
This looks delish! I think we'd like it, I will give it a try.
have a wonderful day!
