Total time:1 hour 20 minutes 60 minutes 20 minutes

Serves: 8

Ingredients

2 organic eating apples

225g The Farm Life Organic Demerara Sugar

200g The Farm Life Organic Butter, softened

3 The Farm Life Organic Eggs, beaten

200g The Farm Life Organic self-raising flour

150g The Farm Life Organic Natural Yogurt

For Crème Fraiche:

500g The Farm Life Organic Half Fat Crème Fraiche

2 tbsp. The Farm Life Organic Forest Honey

½ tsp. The Farm Life Organic cinnamon

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Lightly grease a round 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin, line the base with baking parchment, then grease the top of the parchment.

Core the apples and slice thinly (no need to peel). Put them in a large bowl, add 25g of the sugar and toss well to coat. Arrange the slices in the tin, overlapping them slightly to form circles.

Beat the butter and remaining sugar together until light and fluffy, using an electric hand whisk or wooden spoon. Add the eggs, a little at a time, until they are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. If the mixture begins to curdle, simply add a spoonful or two of the flour and continue to add the egg.

Fold in the remaining flour and yogurt, then carefully spoon the mixture over the apples. Place the cake tin on a baking tray and bake for about 1 hour, or until golden and springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 20 minutes or so. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

Spoon the crème fraiche into a serving bowl. Beat the honey and cinnamon together, then stir gently through the crème fraiche. Chill. Serve the cake in slices, with the honeyed crème fraiche.

tips- The cake will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
