- 100g (3 1/2oz) butter, softened
- 100g (3 1/2oz) caster sugar
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
To make this spiced apple cake you will need to preheat your oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and line the cake tin with baking parchment.
Sift the flour and mixed spice into a bowl, then add the butter and rub the mixture together with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the caster sugar.
Mix the eggs and milk together in a jug and pour into the flour mix. Stir with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, dropping consistency.
Stir in the apple pieces, sultanas and a tablespoon of demerara sugar. Spoon into the tin and spread level. Sprinkle a little more demerara sugar over the top.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the spiced apple cake with a dollop of cream or a spoonful of custard.
