Here's one:
Apple – Honey Cake
Makes 450 (1 lb) loaf


Ingredients
150g caster sugar
150g butter
3 eggs
150g self raising flour, sieved
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
450g Bramley apples, sliced thinly, or chopped*
50g Demerara/brown sugar
50g clear honey, warmed


Method:

Pre heat the oven to 180 C/gas 5.
Butter and line with greaseproof paper a loaf tin, muffin tray or individual moulds.
ln a bowl beat the sugar and butter together.
Add eggs and mix to a smooth cream.
Add flour, baking powder and cinnamon.

*You can add the chopped apple here if you want to have the apple through the loaf.

Mix well.
Pour mixture into prepared tin, tray or mould, filling only two-thirds.
Arrange apples neatly over mixture and sprinkle over half of the Demerara sugar. *If you haven't used the apples chopped, through the mixture.

Bake for 45 minutes (shorter cooking time for individual cakes - 30 minutes).
Remove from oven and brush the surface of the cake with honey and sprinkle with remainder of Demerara sugar.
Serve warm or cold with butterscotch sauce and/or sweetened cream, creme fraiche, or ice cream.

Nyom. It makes quite a moist cake. Very nice.

Put all the (150g) caster sugar in and keep the (50g) demerara for sprinkling on top.The demerara gives a slight crunch to the top, but it's optional - you could put more honey on instead.
