Apple Loaf Cake
An easy apple loaf cake with a glossy caramel glaze. A great way to use up those Bramley apples.
APPLE LOAF CAKE WITH A CARAMEL GLAZE
This apple loaf cake was a real hit and super easy to make too. The recipe below is for a 2lb loaf tin, but if you prefer, you could bake the cake in a 22cm round tin.
It's a one bowl cake (I like those kind of cakes), and is finished with a glossy sweet glaze, which partners so well with the tart apples.
There is something very comforting about apples and caramel and it's a lovely autumnal recipe for the colder days and darker nights.
TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THE APPLE LOAF CAKE
Try different nuts for the topping like pecans and hazelnuts, instead of walnuts.
Feel free to make your own caramel - I'm a bit lazy and love the ease of the tinned stuff.
Add a handful of dried fruit to the cake mix to make it extra fruity. Raisins or cranberries would be nice.
The cake can be frozen without the caramel and nut topping.

I love apple and caramel together and am planning to remake an old apple caramel and cinnamon cake from my blog this weekend! I love how this recipe is so easy and all mixed together in one bowl.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely loaf! I love anything with apples, and it's been far too long since I've made an apple cake.
