Around Stuttgart, the area where my husband originates from, apple orchards are in abundance. My father-in-law has his own orchard so this is one of our favourite apple cake recipes.

Easy Cake Recipe

Preheat oven to 180 C. Prepare and grease cake tin. I normally use a 28 cm (10inch) round cake tin.

Mix together all the ingredients apart from the apples.Pour the mixture into the cake tin and smooth the top until flat.Push the apple pieces gently, at random, into the cake so they sink slightly into the mixture.

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Turn off the oven and let it rest in the oven for 10 minutes.

Test whether the cake is cooked through by piercing the centre with a toothpick. If it comes out clean then the cake is done.

Let the cake cool.
