Chocolate Apple Cake

August 26, 2015 By sue Leave a Comment

P1080126

Although my ballerina apple trees only produced 4 apples this year, it was enough to make my favourite chocolate apple cake.  It is light and moist, and easy to blitz together in the food processor.  It is great as a cake or as a dessert.

P10500512-3 apples
125g butter (melted)
1 egg
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup flour
2 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda

Food processor – chop unpeeled apples, add remaining ingredients in the order given. Process in short bursts until combined.
Turn into greased 23cm pan and sprinkle with 1/4 cup slivered almonds.

Bake at 180C for 35 mins or until centre springs back.



Optional toppingP1070499
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp chopped nuts
1 tsp cinnamon

I served mine with spiced brandied cherries and yoghurt.
