Apple slice cake




This is an incredibly simple and quick recipe that makes an amazing apple cake! 
Ingredients

Rind from 1 lemon, plus the lemon juice
5 Oratia Beauty apples
150 g butter
200 g sugar
4 eggs
250 g self raising flour
Icing sugar to dust (optional)

Peel, core and slice the apples into rings, spray with lemon juice.
Melt the butter and mix with the sugar. 
Add the eggs, flour and lemon rind, then fold in the apple slices. 
Line the bottom of a 20cm round baking tin with baking paper and grease the sides with butter. 
Pour the cake mixture into the tin and bake at 180°C for approximately 45 minutes. 
Wait 5 minutes then reverse on a serving plate. 
Dust with icing sugar.

    For some reason the blog editor doesn't work, so I am adding this here:
    I called this apple slice cake because it is made with apple slice :-)!!!

    Ciao Alessandra! ;) Quindi sei italiana! E io che ti avevo scritto in inglese! :)
    Non mi parlare del discorso GFC ..anche io sto avendo dei problemi! Se cerco di diventare follower di qualcuno, divento follower non con il mio account ma con quello di una mia amica che si era connessa dal mio pc! :( E non c'è soluzione di risolvere questa cosa, anche se esco e rientro in continuazione da google+!
    Ahaha non so come risolvere questa mia cosa (sono bloccata da una settimana!) e sono totalmente negata in queste cose... figuriamoci "error 404", non mi dice niente! :(
    Mi ha fatto molto piacere che tu mi abbia scritto, anyway!
    Elly :)

    ps--- io ti seguivo già da un bel po', solo che non ti avevo mai scritto, don't worry!

    That sounds almost too good to be true! It also makes me realise how few varieties of apple we see outside specialist orchards - I've never heard of Oratia Beauty, but even the name sounds inviting!

    Red, I think that these apples only exist in West Auckland (Oratia, in fact, where I live) and they are not sold commercially outside the area. They are an heirloom variety that needs to be supported by the locals, before the last trees disappear.

    Love the simplicity of this cake, Alessandra. What a wonderful name for an apple :-)

    Love the name of the apples. And the cake looks very moorish. Thanks for sharing and for dreaming up SweetNZ :)
