32- Spiced apple cake!

I have literally just made this cake now and thought, considering I have a photo I should share with you the recipe!

Baking in Korea is quite expensive, especially if you are using butter!
When we go to larger supermarkets like Lotte Marts or Homeplus, the butter there varies in price of course according to what you get.
A decent wad of butter costs near £4 for 450g! And that's the best deal I've seen so far!

This cake was very easy to make as well as quick and delicious!
The original recipe states using cooking apples but I used normal eating apples for mine.
I can't find cooking apples here..I don't think Korea has any or imports any in.

Overall this cake was nice and moist, slightly chewy and sticky at the edges.
The balance of spices were very nice against the sweet apples. The cake is definitely moreish as this cake is over half gone and there's only the 2 of us!
I placed thin apple slices on the top of the cake with cinnamon sugar to make it look prettier.
I stupidly forgot to reduce the amount of sugar though...but that's okay, it was sweet but bearable!

Cake ingredients
220g self raising flour
220g cooking apples (use eating apples if you prefer but lower your sugar to 200g)
275g sugar (or 200g)
1 egg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp all spice
A pinch of salt

Topping
Optional cinnamon sugar- 3:1 ratio of sugar to cinnamon. Mix the 2 ingredients together and you're done!

1. Cream the butter and sugar together.
2. Sift the flour, salt, spices into the same bowl.
3. Chop up your apples in small dices or into small dices and enough thin apple slices to cover your cake tin. (A round cake tin is what I used, 20 inches)
4. Place the egg and stir everything together (at this point everything looks a bit dry but it's okay, you need to wait for a few minutes for the apple juices to seep into the mixture)
5. Butter up your cake in and pour in mixture
6. 180 c and 25-30 minutes later- viola!
