Gather your ingredients

Make the base cake mixture

[{"selector":"#anim-76af563d-c9fd-459b-bd11-973a0f866017","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 02 Cream together the butter and sugar then add the egg. Separately mix the dry ingredients then combine.

Dice the apples

Transfer to baking tin

[{"selector":"#anim-9e624945-1607-4cc4-acda-83df1a0f0716","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 04 It's best to line the tin to make it easier to remove after baking. Smooth the top down so it's an even thickness.

Bake!

[{"selector":"#anim-16ecc4fa-deeb-4906-84ff-a5c99026917b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 05 Bake until an even brown. Also, test the middle with a skewer - it should come out clean. If it's wet with batter, bake a little longer.
