Ingrediente

Cake Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 egg

• 1/2 cup milk

• 6 tbsp butter

Topping ingredients:

For the topping:

• 1 large Golden Delicious apple

• 2 tsp butter, melted

• 1 tsp sugar

Instrucțiuni

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and generously butter a 9-inch round cake pan.

2. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the chilled butter, toss to coat with flour, then cut in with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Whisk the egg and milk together in a separate bowl, then combine with the dry ingredients until blended. Don't over mix.

4. Spread the dough in the prepared cake pan and set aside.

5. Peel, core and cut the apple into thin slices, then arrange them in a spiral pattern on top of the dough, pushing gently to nestle them in as you work. Brush liberally with the melted butter.

6. Combine the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cake pulls away from the edges of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
