TRADITIONAL ENGLISH APPLE TRAYBAKE - APPLE PUDDING CAKE



Traditional English Apple Traybake - Apple Pudding Cake image

A simple and easy to whip up apple sponge cake; baked in a tray for easy serving - cut into bars or squares for picnics, school or office lunch boxes & for tea time treats! It is DIVINE served hot with cream,custard or ice cream for a great Autumn/Fall pudding. This type of cake is often called Dorset or Somerset Apple cake, but it is really quite popular in nearly all of the English counties, especially during apple harvest season. I have stipulated Bramley apples, which are English cooking apples - in the absence of these, any tart or sharp "Appley" flavoured or regional "cooking" apples will do.

1 lb bramley cooking apple
1/2 lemon, juice of
8 ounces butter, softened

  • Peel, core & thinly slice apples; squeeze the lemon juice over them to stop them discolouring and set them to one side.
  • Place butter, caster sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, flour & baking powder into a large roomy mixing bowl & mix well until smooth. You can use an electric hand whisk if it's easier.
  • Spread half of the cake/pudding mixture into the prepared tin. Arrange half of the apples over the top of the mixture.
  • Repeat the layer with the remaining half of cake/pudding mixture & apples - the apples should be arranged over the top of the cake/pudding mixture.
  • Sprinkle over with the demerara sugar.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown, well risen & springy to the touch.
  • Leave to cool slightly for 10 minutes & then cut into squares or bars.
  • Wait until the cake has completely cooled before removing the cake & the baking paper from the tin - store in an airtight tin or container.
  • If you wish to serve this warm as a pudding, wait 5-10 minutes and then cut and serve with cream, custard or ice cream.
  • It can also be microwaved too, for a future hot pudding!

Time 4h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups crushed whole grain cereal with dates, raisins and pecans
1 medium apple, peeled, cored and diced
1 cup flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup spiced rum plus 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12-ounce) container whipped topping

Steps:

  • Generously grease a 2-quart glass or ceramic heat-proof bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Roll up a piece of aluminum foil to form a ring and place in the bottom of a large slow cooker.
  • In a large bowl mix together the cereal, apple, flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, butter, 1/4 cup spiced rum, and vanilla.
  • Make a well in center of the dry ingredients, add the liquid ingredients then stir to combine. Put the batter into the prepared bowl, and smooth top with spatula. Cover with aluminum foil and secure with a large elastic band so water does not seep inside. Place the bowl on the foil ring placed inside the slow cooker and fill with water to come 2/3 the way up the side of the bowl. Cook on high for 4 hours or until cake is set in the center. Remove the cake from the slow cooker. When cool enough to handle invert onto a plate to unmold.
  • Combine the whipped topping, remaining 2 tablespoons spiced rum and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and mix until well incorporated.
  • Serve the cake warm with a dollop of spiced whipped topping.
