Apple Custard Cake.
This reminds me of my childhood.. Sunday teatime, when we always had sandwiches & cake.. if we were really lucky.. we had soft boiled eggs as a treat…
What you will need:
For the cake:
200g Butter.
¾ cup Brown Sugar.
2 Eggs.
2 cups Self Raising Flour.
½ cup Buttermilk.
2 large Apples.
20g Butter, melted.
2 tsp Caster Sugar.
½ tsp Ground Cinnamon.
For the custard:
2 Tbsp Custard Powder.
¼ cup Caster Sugar.
1 cup Milk.
20g Butter.
Vanilla Essence.
2 Apples, sliced.
What to do:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare the cake tin: line the base with baking paper, grease the sides.
To make the custard: Put the custard powder & sugar in a small saucepan, over a medium to low heat
Combine the milk & stir rapidly until the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat, stir in the butter & essence. Cool with plastic wrap over the surface.
To make the cake: Beat the butter & brown sugar until fluffy, add the eggs one at a time.
Mix in a little flour after each egg to prevent curdling.
With the beaters stir in the remaining flour & the buttermilk until combined.
Pop into the oven for about an hour until firm.
