Now that new season apples are plentiful, this cake is also a good choice, especially if you have apples that quickly cook to a pulp, such as Sunrise or Ballarat. A cake takes longer to make and bake than scones, so it is just as well that this one is delicious to eat straight from the oven. I prefer this recipe, in which slices of raw apple are baked in the middle of a light, buttery cake, to the more traditional apple shortcake, which is made with hot stewed apple.

Ingredients

1 cup Standard flour
2 tsp Baking powder
¾ tsp Salt
1 pinch Cayenne pepper
2 pinches Ground ginger
125 g Tasty cheese
1 Egg
½ cup Milk
1 tbsp Oil

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degC.
  2. Sift the dry ingredients together and stir in the grated cheese. Break the egg into a small bowl, add the milk and oil and whisk with a fork.
  3. Add to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork just until mixed.
  4. Drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking paper or baking cloth.
  5. Bake for about 8 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Makes 12 small puffs.
