I love cakes, but I also love baking them to be easy and simple, a lot of my cake recipes start with the same basic mixture then I add in the flavours I want. This cake would work just as well with pears or figs and is a great way to use up past their best fruit. I find it's best served warm and with cream!

1

Sieve the flour, caster sugar and baking powder together.
2

Add the butter, eggs, honey, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon to the mix.
3

Beat all the ingredients together until well combined.
4

Next thinly slice the apple and layer on the bottom of a lined cake tin. Any size cake tin should work, though the cooking time will need adjusting. I use a halogen oven so I find a doughnut shaped tin works best.
5

Add the cake mixture to the cake tin, Carefully layering on top of the apples. spread the mixture evenly in the tin until all used.
6

Finally, bake for 30 minutes at 180C. Until firm and a skewer in the mixture come away cleanly. allow to cool slightly in the tin then turn out.
