Spiced Apple Cake (Thermomix)

This cake came out a little like a parkin and was delicious. Next time round I may cook for a little longer and adjust the ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 0.5kgs of eating apples (3 or 4 approx)
• 3 eggs, separated
• 75gms of caster sugar
• 75gms of soft dark brown sugar
• 25gms of sunflower oil
• 125gms of plain flower
• 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
• 0.5 tsp of cinnamon
• 1 tsp pf cocao

Pre-heat oven to 180°C . Prep a 20cms square baking tin (4cms deep) (I use butter) and put to one side. Peel and core the apples and chop roughly in TM for about 3 secs, Speed 5. Cover and put to one side. Clean TM and thoroughly dry. Insert butterfly whisk into TM. Add the egg whites and beat until stiff for 3mins,speed3. Now add the sugar gradually until well mixed – speed 3 again. Remove the butterfly, scrape down the bowl and add all the ingredients excluding the apples and mix for 15 seconds, speed 5. Add the apples and mix to combine well for 10 seconds on reverse, speed 1. Scrape down with a spatula and ensure well combined. Pour the mixture into the baking tin and bake for 30mins until a stick comes out clean from the cake.Remove from tin and place on a rack to cool down. Serve in slices plain or with a spread of butter with a cup of tea – Perfect!
