Mary Berry's apple and cinnamon loaf cake

Ingredients

• Butter

  Unsalted

  100g

• Wheat flour

  Whole-grain

  ¼ cup or 30g

• Sugar

  White, granulated sugar

  100g

• Cinnamon

  Spices, ground

  1 tsp or 3g

• Apples

  With skin

  3 medium or 546g

• Egg

  Whole, fresh eggs

  3 extra large or 168g

• Powdered sugars

  1 tsp or 3g

• Apricot jam

  Includes preserves

  2 tbsp or 40g

Directions

1. Set the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
2. Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs (this can be done in a food processor). Stir in the sugar and cinnamon.
3. Peel the apples, core and dice two and a half apples and stir into the cake mixture with the eggs. Beat until combined.
4. Divide the cake mixture evenly between the cake tins. Thinly slice the remaining half of apple and arrange in a row along the middle on top of each cake. Sprinkle with demerara sugar and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden-brown, risen, firm to the touch in the centre and just shrinking from the sides of the tin.
5. Brush the top of the cakes with the apricot jam. Allow to cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then turn out and leave to cool on a wire rack.
