moist apple cake

I stumbled upon this creation accidentally.

Did you know that if you add the pureed fruit (that is sold as baby food) to your cake batter, it makes your cake very moist?

For this recipe, Heinz pureed fruity apple was used in the cake batter.

INGREDIENTS

1 large red apple

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup castor sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

Heinz pureed fruity apple mixed with enough apple juice to make 1 cup of liquid

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.

2. Grease and flour an 8" round cake pan. Set aside.

3. Skin the apple and cube the apple.

4. Sift the self-raising flour and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

5. Mix the castor sugar, oil and liquid apple in a mixing bowl using a hand whisk.

6. Stir in the cubed apple using a wooden spatula.

7. Fold in the flour mixture using a wooden spatula and mix until blended.

8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

9. Bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

10. Let the cake cool in the cake pan for 5 minutes before transferring the cake onto a wire rack for thorough cooling.
