Equipment
Instructions
- Cream together butter and sugar. Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating until smooth.
- Add the self-rising flour and salt and mix until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Peel one apple, remove the core and cut into cubes. Mix in a bowl with a little flour. The flour will prevent the pieces from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Using a spatula, mix the apple pieces into the batter. Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan.
- Slice half of the apple and place them on top of the cake, pressing them lightly into the batter.
- Bake the cake at 175 ℃/345 ℉ (conventional) for about 65-70 minutes until done and golden brown.
- After baking, insert a skewer into the center of the cake and if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Allow to cool briefly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling.
