This delicious cake will fill your home with wonderful spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. My dear friend, Holly shot these gorgeous photos while on holiday in Provence, France for us and her family absolutely loved this cake and I’m sure yours will too. You can use other fruit, if you prefer in place of the apple. Let your kids help you choose their favourite fruit and perhaps make individual little cakes in ramekins. You can even add in a few chocolate chips to the batter.
TIP Here are some alternative fruit suggestions; pears, peaches, nectarines, figs, pineapple and berries. You can mix a few different fruits together and create your own special signature dessert. Using Greek yoghurt really makes the cake moist, but you can substitute a milk of your choice. In the photo the apple slices are arranged on top the cake in two circles before baking, which makes a lovely presentation, however you can cut them in medium-size chunks and add them into the batter, if you prefer.
NOTE You can use a hand mixer, stand mixer or mix this cake by hand and it can all be done in the same bowl so it’s easy to clean up. You can use an egg substitute like chia seed eggs or flax seed eggs in place of the eggs and coconut oil instead of butter to make this a vegan friendly recipe. Using an egg wash to brush on the apples helps to stop them from drying out and burning. You can omit this step if you’re making a vegan friendly cake and optionally just brush them with a little melted coconut oil.
