Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup castor sugar
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 4 cups chopped Granny Smith apples (3 to 4 large apples)
- ½ cup butter (glaze)
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar (glaze)
- ¼ cup milk (glaze)
Directions
- Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl; set aside. Beat the brown sugar, castor sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and beat until well blended; mixture will be very thick. Fold in the apples. Pour into a greased and floured tube pan (bund). Bake in a pre-heated 180°C (350°F) oven for 1 hour, or until a wooden pick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack, then invert onto a serving plate.
- For the glaze combine the butter, brown sugar and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Pour the hot glaze over the cooled cake. You may also bake this cake in a 9 X 13-inch rectangular cake pan, in which case the cooking time will only be about 45 minutes.
