Pille's apple cake

Serves 10 as Dessert.

An easy recipe for a simple and comforting Estonian apple cake.

• 400 ml plain/all-purpose flour
  
• 150 ml caster sugar
  
• 1/8 tsp salt
  
• 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• 100 g butter
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 200 ml kefir or fermented milk or buttermilk
  
• 500 g apples, cored and cut into chunks
  

Mix the dry ingredients.

Melt the butter, add milk (drop by drop to prevent curdling), whisk in the egg, using a fork. Add to the dry mixture. If too dry, add some more milk.

Fold in apple cubes.

Pour into a small buttered cake tin.

Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon and demerara sugar.

Bake at 200˚C oven for about 30 minutes, until the cake is nice and golden.

If you wish, sprinkle with icing sugar.

PS The cake is also lovely with chopped rhubarb or gooseberries, so use whatever is in season.
