Ingredients

  • 150 g Softened Butter
  • 225 g Caster Sugar
  • 4 Free-Range Medium Eggs
  • 225 g Self Raising Flour
  • 100 g Soured Cream
  • 2 Pink Lady apples peeled, cored and cubed (or any dessert apples)
  • 1 Tablespoon runny Honey
  • Drizzle of runny Honey for top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven 180C (160C fan) / 350F / Gas4
  • Line a rectangular cake tin with baking parchment and grease well (10' x 8') Guess you could also make it round too and thus 8' tin) or a Loaf tin 15 x 4
  • Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. I used a stand mixer. It can be done by hand and banish those bingo wings?
  • Next add one egg at a time, beating throughly, if the mix starts to curdle add a tablespoon of the flour.
  • Carry on adding the eggs until all combined
  • Add the flour and mix until smooth
  • Then add the soured cream and apple chunks, giving it a good old stir
  • Finally stir through 1 tablespoon honey
  • Tip into the lined baking tin and smooth top
  • Give it a quick drizzle with honey - I went diagonal stripes
  • Pop in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until firm to the touch and golden brown (time dependant on cake tin size) If you are using a loaf tin -  bake will be approx 40-45 minutes!
  • Remove from  the oven, cool for 10 minutes and tip onto a cooling tray
  • Serve warm with custard / cream or ice cream or leave to cool and have a square with your brew!
