Made this for my mum and her friends at the gym (yes...they all eat cake!) and apparently it all got eaten! It's a big cake, good for a party, or serve it hot as a dessert.
225g butter
225g demerera sugar
225g self raising flour
4 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp mixed spice
150g sultanas
4 small apples
For the crumble topping:
100g butter
100g self raising flour
100g caster sugar
Preheat your oven to 180C and line a 10" cake tin with greaseproof paper.
Cream the butter and the sugar together in a large bowl. You may need to melt the butter in a microwave first so that it's soft enough to mix with the sugar.
Spread half of the mixture into the prepared tin. Peel and slice the apples thinly and layer on top like below. You may want to do it in a pretty pattern of interlocking apple slices, but remember this layer won't be seen...
Combine the crumble ingredients in a small bowl and bring together with your fingers. It should be somewhere between a dough and breadcrumb texture.
Spread the rest of the cake batter over the layer of apple and the sprinkle the crumble topping over the cake.
Bake for an hour and a half on the middle shelf. After about an hour, cover the cake loosely with foil to stop the top from burning.
