Apple sauce cake

Serves:

Serves 8-10

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (125g) unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup (180g) sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups (300g) plain flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 375g jar apple sauce

For topping:

• 2 tsp butter, melted
• 1 1/2 tsp caster sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease a ring tin and line the base with baking paper.

Beat butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Fold through flour, cinnamon and baking powder. Finally, fold through the apple sauce.

Pour into prepared tin and bake for 30-35 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Once cooked, remove cake from tin and place right side up on a cooling rack. Brush the cake with melted butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
