Recipe Tips
- If the cake is not cooked, but the top is starting to burn, then place a piece of foil over the top. The foil will allow the cake to continue to cook while preventing the top from burning.
- An electric mixer is recommended to produce the best results. Either a stand mixer or hand mixer will suffice.
- Sifting the dry ingredients is not compulsory but will help reduce the number of lumps and help make the cake fluffy.
- Caster sugar is also known as superfine sugar or baker’s sugar.
- Spread some butter over the apple slices to help prevent them from burning. I also like to sprinkle a little bit of sugar.
