Indulge in a decadent apple cake topped with a rich butterscotch syrup.
Ingredients:
  • 200g unsalted butter, softened
  • 430.00 gm caster sugar
  • 750.00 ml plain flour
  • 3.75 gm ground cinnamon
  • 8.00 gm baking powder
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • 250.00 ml chopped pecans
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, chopped
  • 8.80 gm vanilla extract
  • 40.00 ml brandy
  • 3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, chopped
  • 250ml (1 cup) cider (or water)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 vanilla bean, split
  • 2.50 gm ground ginger
  • Pinch of cloves
  • 107.50 gm caster sugar
  • 42.00 gm lemon juice
  • 200g brown sugar
  • 126.25 gm thick cream
  • 100g unsalted butter
Instructions:
  • Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, cover, and cook gently for 10-15 minutes until the apple is tender. Stir with a wooden spoon and allow it to cool down.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C and prepare a 28cm round spring-form cake pan by greasing and lining the base.
  • Add the butter and sugar to the electric mixer bowl and beat until pale and light.
  • Sift dry ingredients into a bowl and gradually fold into butter mixture, alternating with 2 cups of applesauce. Mix in cloves, pecans, apple, vanilla, and brandy. Pour batter into cake pan and bake for 1 hour.
  • The cake is done when a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. If not, cover the top with foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, combine all ingredients and stir until you achieve a velvety butterscotch sauce. Drizzle over the cooled cake and top with a dollop of cream before serving.
