Easy Apple Sponge Cake
Can I drizzle honey on top? To make it really festive for the holiday.
Yes, you definitely can! However, might we suggest using maple syrup instead? It works great as a glaze, and it’s very delicious compared to honey.
Equipment
Ingredients
In bowl #1:
- ¾ cup oil
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar (demerara)
- 4 tbsp. water / orange juice
- 3 eggs
- ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
In bowl #2:
- 3 apples (peeled and diced small)
- 1 handful raisins (optional but adds a lot)
- 5 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
- Grab bowl #1 and mix the ingredients until they’re well combined into a batter.
- Do the same for bowl #2.
- Use a cooking spray to oil two loaf pans or a 9” round cake pan (24 cm)
- Slowly pour about ¼ of the batter into the pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
- Add ½ the amount of apples on top of the batter, then mix it all together.
- Pour the other batter quarter on top—don’t worry if you see an apple or two peaking out; it doesn’t cover the entire thing.
- Repeat the process with the second pan.
- Sprinkle some ground cinnamon on top.
- Bake for about an hour in a preheated oven at 340°F (170°C).
- Using a toothpick, poke the cake in multiple spots. If the toothpick comes out clean, then it’s ready! If not, leave it for a few minutes and check again later.
- Once done, poke some extra holes in the cake and drizzle the maple syrup so it can be absorbed inside.
- Using a pastry brush or knife, smooth out the syrup left on top.
Tips
- You can use confectioner’s sugar to decorate the cake.
