My Favourite Cakes
As I mentioned before we ate a lot of cake over summer. This apple cake was filled with freshly whipped cream. I think I must have shamelessly eaten three double slices. I didn’t eat any dinner that day. I hope you’re enjoying the week. Weather in Canada is still so good so I really have nothing to whine about. Enjoy the rest of the week!
- Ingredients
- 175g (6oz) all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 small apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 50g (2oz, ¼ cup) soft brown sugar
- 175g (6oz) butter or margarine (I used tub margarine)
- 175g (6oz) sugar
- 3 eggs
Preheat the oven to 325ºF (160ºC) ten minutes before baking. Sift the flour and baking powder and set aside. Grease and line the bases of two sandwich tins (pans) with parchment.
Toss the apples in the brown sugar and arrange in bottom of the two pans.
Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.
Fold in the flour in two batches.
The final batter looks like this
Divide the batter evenly between the two tins (pans)
and bake 20-25 minutes until golden. Leave in the pan for ten minutes then transfer onto a cooling rack. (don’t over-bake the sponges).
Whip the cream with one tablespoon icing sugar and vanilla essence until soft peaks form.
Sandwich the cakes with the cream and strawberries.
Mix remaining sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle of the top of the cake
and serve.
Apple Cake With Cream Filling

- 175g (6oz) all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 small apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 50g (2oz, ¼ cup) soft brown sugar
- 175g (6oz) butter or margarine (I used tub margarine)
- 175g (6oz) sugar

Filling and Topping
- 150ml whipping cream (35% cream)
- 2 tablespoons icing (confectioners) sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla essence (extract)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

- Preheat the oven to 325ºF (160ºC) ten minutes before baking. Sift the flour and baking powder and set aside. Grease and line the bases of two sandwich tins (pans) with parchment.
- Toss the apples in the brown sugar and arrange in bottom of the two pans.
- Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy then beat in eggs one at a time.
- Fold in the flour in two batches. Divide the batter evenly between the two tins (pans) and bake 20-25 minutes until golden. Leave in the pan for ten minutes then transfer onto a cooling rack.
- Whip the cream with one tablespoon icing sugar and vanilla essence until soft peaks form. Sandwich the cakes with the cream. Mix remaining sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle of the top of the cake and serve.
- For cup measures: spoon the flour into the cup, heaping it up over the top, then slide a knife across the top to level off the extra. Be careful not to shake or tap the cup to settle down the flour or you will have more than you need.
Points to Note:
- Please note that oven temperatures are given as a guideline only. You may need to add or reduce the suggested temperature depending on your oven
- I baked the cakes at 360ºF (180ºC) for 23 minutes, but they were browning too fast. Next time I would try 325ºF (160ºC).

I love apple desserts and your cake looks really good with that cream filling. So happy Fall is here and apple season 🙂
Oh how I love fall. I am taking long winding walks every morning. Pleasant week to you!

You’re killing me with this! Yum! We still have some apples from our apple picking trip….
You’re always going on a picking trip. How lucky for you. I just finished the last of the apple pie I made last night! Have a great week!

This is one beautiful cake!
Thank you, Julie. Have a great week!

One of the things I dislike about using apples is having to peel and core them. However, while shopping at my favorite grocers the other day I found these huge apples. Like twice the size of a normal one. So I ought three and they are going to turn into apple crisp. I forget the name of them but I asked the produce manager if they would work as pie or crisp apples and he assured me they would. Now, to turn them into cake, another option, thanks Liz! Your cake looks scrumptious. My mouth is watering thinking about it. LOL
How did the apple crisp go? Sounds so delicious. Don’t worry you’re not the only one who hates peeling/coring apples. I love the end result so I do it anyway, grudgingly. Have a great week And I just realized it’s you, Sandy. I really laughed.

Haha, I keep changing my photo to reflect the season. The apple crisp was delicious! I made small ones and froze some. So yummy. I doubt they will remain frozen for very long though! Lol. Have a great week coming up!
I like the idea of making small ones. Easy to handle, easy to freeze, easy to thaw and eat. Enjoy the week!
Liz
mmm, would’ve eaten that many as well! Weather is great in Seattle, a sunny, crisp day!
Same here, sunny and crisp and delightful. I love love love good weather!

Apple cake is one of my favorites cakes. Kisses!!!
Me too!

Great looking cake. I don’t know why, but I don’t make enough cake with apples in it, even though I really like the flavor of baked goods with apples. The weather is great here in seattle as of today, the first day of fall. have a good rest of the week!
It’s getting really cold of later. Freezing in the night. I love apples in my cake and pie and everything. Have a good week, ahead!

Thanks Liz! You too.
