I layered apples on the bottom of the pan in a tarte tatin style, and added black tea leaves to make a fragrant black tea apple cake; I baked it in a rice cooker. A recipe for apple cake gave me the idea to make this.

The sponge cake portion of the cake should rise as shown in the photo. If you cover it with a cloth or plastic wrap while still hot, and gently press down on it, you can control the degree of rising.
You can easily make this with 1 apple, but using 2 apples gives it a richer flavor. Recipe by kouyoshi

Steps

1

Wash and core the apple. Leave the skin on and slice into 5-mm thick slices. Arrange them on a plate and pour the honey and lemon juice over them.
2

Microwave Step 1 for 5 minutes at 500 W (if using 2 apples, microwave for 8-9 minutes).
3

Combine the ingredients in the order listed from the butter down. Lightly mix the powdered ingredients. Once mixed, add the tea leaves from the tea bags.
4

Arrange the apples slices, slightly overlapping one another, in the bottom of the pan greased with butter (the photo shows 2 apples' worth).
5

Pour the batter over the top of Step 4.
6

Bake for 40 minutes in an oven preheated to 180℃. At this point, it looks like a plain black tea cake, doesn't it?
7

Once it has cooled, flip it over to remove from the pan, and it's done! (The photo shows 2 apples for a richer flavor.)
