Food Monday ~ Gateau au Pommes

I wonder if Elly remembers this Apple Cake?  It was made by Robin, a French flat-mate who shared a house in Scotland.

Gateau au Pommes

Preheat the oven to 180°C

Base:
3 Cooking Apples
1 egg
4 dessert-spoons granulated sugar
7 dessert-spoons Plain Flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
7 dessert-spoons Milk
2 dessert-spoons Sunflower Oil

Topping:
1 Egg
4 dessert-spoons Granulated Sugar
100g Butter

In a large bowl put 1 whole egg, sugar, flour and baking powder.  Beat together with the milk and oil.  Cut the apples.  Place in a greased baking tin.  Spread flour mixture over the apples.  Bake for 25 minutes.

For the topping melt the butter. Mix sugar and egg add to melted butter and mix well and spread over cake.  Bake for a further 15 minutes until golden.

    That sounds gorgeous and seems pretty simple. A must try I think.

    I have a teaspoon, but not a dessert spoon so I can’t make this.

    Marian - It is an easy one.

    Lily - I would never have guessed. ;) :lol:

    BHB - A teaspoon is 2.5ml, a dessertspoon is 10ml and a tablespoon is 15ml. I hope that helps.

    WWW - Enjoy! I can picture you by the fire with afternoon tea and this cake on a ‘No Do’ Day! :D
