  Recipe's & Equipment

Step 1: You will need 

½ tbsp cinnamon 250 g sugar 400 g flour 1 tsp baking soda 10 g baking powder pinch of salt 4 eggs 220 ml vegetable oil 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced 120 g walnuts, chopped 1 sieve 1 electric mixer with a flat beater attachment 1 rubber spatula 1 bowl 1 spring-form pan 26cm in diameter, lined with parchment paper 1 wooden skewer 1 spoon

1. Step 2: Preheat the oven

   Set the oven to 170°C (340°F/ gas mark 3.5).

2. Step 3: Begin the batter

   Into the mixer bowl, add the eggs and sugar. Start mixing it on a low speed, then whip on a medium speed for about 2 minutes.

3. Step 4: Add the vegetable oil

   As soon as the mixture becomes pale and creamy, very slowly add the oil. Don't pour it in too fast or the butter may curdle. When well mixed, turn off the machine.

4. Step 5: Make the batter

   Place the sieve over the bowl and add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Using a spoon, sieve the ingredients into the bowl.
5. Add the flour mixture to the wet mix in the mixing bowl. Combine on a low speed. Next, add the apples and walnuts and mix for 1 minute. Clean off any batter clinging to the beater attachment and remove the bowl. Using a spatula, finish folding the mixture by hand.

6. Step 6: Bake

   Spoon the mixture into the pan and level out the top. Place the pan in the oven and bake for approximately 50-55 minutes.

7. Step 7: Remove the cake

   Near the end of the cooking time, test your cake with a wooden skewer to see if it's done. Insert the skewer into the centre of the cake and remove it. If it is free of batter, the cake is ready.
8. Leave to cool down to room temperature and remove the cake from the pan.

9. Step 8: Serve

   Your Apple, Cinnamon, and Walnut Cake is now ready to serve. It goes perfectly with vanilla ice cream and a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
