Apple and Walnut Cake

June 15, 2009 | Filed Under Apple and Walnut Cake, Baking 


I’ve made this apple cake twice now (and I plan on continuing to make it many more times).  The combination of the apples and  walnuts are perfect.  I found the recipe on Gina’s Gingerbread and loved that the cake is quick and easy to make with so few ingredients.

Gina used banana and pear in making her cake but I decided to stick with the original recipe and used apples and walnuts.  The cake smelled delicious while baking and tasted just as good when it came out of the oven. 

Hmmm…  Maybe next time I’ll make this cake using banana and pears.

Quick Apple Cake

Gingerbread

 

1 cup sugar (raw is great)
1/2 cup margarine (125g)
2 eggs (small or one large)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup self-raising flour
2 cups chopped apple (small pieces, skin on is fine)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Mix sugar and margarine with electric mixer until combined
add eggs and mix well
add all other ingredients
(should be a fairly stiff mixture)

Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and raw sugar (if desired)

Bake in slice tin 30 mins or cake tin about 45 mins

Note: takes about 2 small apples..if you don’t like walnuts you could just leave
out or replace with some sultanas or other dried fruit

    I love apple cake. They keep the cake so moist and fruity. Walnuts bring out the crunchiness, too. This is a perfect cake in my book!

    I love any type of apple cake, but I only recently started baking with pears and I’m finding that I love pear cakes just as much. I’ll bet this cake would be delicious either way.

    Apples and walnuts are so delicious! I am sure the only problem here is stopping before the whole cake is gone.

    I never used to like walnuts, and certainly Not with other foods. Just in the past few years have I discovered how great they are – and this sounds like a perfect combination.
