Apple and Cinnamon Cake

I cooked this and then topped it with a glaze made from applesauce and icing sugar. The cake tastes lovely and cinnamony but I would use a cooking apple next time instead of an eating one.


1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup soft butter
2 eggs beaten
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup Plain Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup milk
1 large Apple finely chopped (do at the last minute)

Preheat oven to 350degress 150 Fan
Grease and flour loaf tin - I used liners
Mix brown sugar and cinnamon - set aside
Beat butter with white sugar till soft
Add eggs and vanilla to butter mix with half the flour
Add rest of the flour and baking powder with the milk and stir well

Pour half the batter into the loaf tin
Top with half the apple and half the cinnamon sugar mix
Pour remaining batter into the loaf tin
Top with half the apple and half the cinnamon sugar mix
Bake for 50 minutes till done
