This looks delicious but how many apples do you need? There’s none on the ingredients list. Also, is there no sugar in the actual cake?
Thank you 🙂
Hey Laura
Thank you! Sorry, it was 11:30pm when I was adding this.
You need one large apple and 1/2 cup sugar.
Hope you enjoy the recipe xoxo
This cake was delicious. I’m not the worlds best baker. I made a few mistakes but I was very happy with the taste., look and feel. Thanks Sarah.
Thank you xox
I love this cake – I’ve only made it a couple of times but it’s already a family favourite! A little bit more fiddly than a standard cake with the apple slices on top, but definitely worth the effort. The golden syrup glaze is delicious.
Thanks so much for sharing!
