Vanilla Apple Cake


A simple and fruity Vanilla Apple Cake recipe, using Bramley apples. Great as pudding with custard.

Vanilla Apple Cake

We had out Village Harvest Festival last weekend so I decided to make this cake for the bring and share tea. It's lovely and fruity and could even be served warm with some clotted cream as a pudding.


TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THE VANILLA APPLE CAKE

  • If you can't get hold of Bramley apples, then a tart eating apple would work well.
  • The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just wrap it well in foil and clingfilm.
