This is my apple cake with cinnamon. One of my favourites with very soft texture and apple- cinnamon flavour.

Apple cake

Ingredients

3 apples, peeled, cored, sliced

125g icing sugar

125g unsalted butter

150g plain flour

1 vanilla pod

2 eggs

1/2tsp baking powder

2tbsp corn flour

2tsp cinnamon powder

Method

Heat the oven to 180C.

Grease and line a deep cake tin with baking parchment. In a bow with butter, add icing sugar and vanilla. Mix together. Add egg yolks to the butter and mix it. Now, in a bowl with flour, add egg mixture, baking powder and corn flour. Stir well.

Finally, add egg white and mix to combine until you have a thick batter.

Scrap half of the batter into prepared tin and gently level out. Sprinkle over, ground cinnamon and diced apple, cover it with remains of the batter and again sprinkle over cinnamon powder and diced apple.

Bake it in the oven for 40 minutes. Test the cake by inserting a knife or skewer into the centre, it should come out clean. Leave the cake to cool for 15 minutes and then remove it from the tin. Cut it into pieces. Dust with sifted icing sugar and garnish with crushed pistachio.

Serve it warm or cold with custard or crème fraiche.

Hello everyone, my name is Rozina. I am Iranian with Azerbaijani roots. I was raised in Iran but I am living in Scotland. I am passionate about cooking and preparing meals for my family and friends. I tell them the story behind the meal, the pronunciation of their Iranian name and the spices that used in Persian cuisine. I am a photographer, a cooking teacher, and very interested to introduce Persian and Azerbaijani meals, desserts and beverages to people from different cultures, as I love to try food from all over the world. Iranian cuisine is a combination of rice with meat ( chicken, beef, lamb, fish, turkey), nuts, fruits, dried and fresh herbs and vegetables. Iranian food is a celebration of flavor, colour and spices such as: saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, dried rose petals, dried limes, cumin, .... I share my recipes in Farsi/English along with step by step photos of preparation. I take all my own pictures. I have learned my traditional Persian and Azerbaijani recipes from my lovely mother, and she has learned from her mother. Over the years, I have experimented and learned more recipes. Some of my recipes are a fusion Western and Middle Eastern cuisine. Some are forgotten from Persian cooking tables and I try with posting and sharing those ones, to preserve them. All my recipes and pictures are property of rozinaspersiankitchen. I would be pleased if you would mention my site if you wish to use any of them. So, if you are interested to know about Persian /Azerbaijani food taste, you can try my website. I will be glad to hear your ideas about my recipes. :) Thank you for visiting my website.
