Apple Cake

Weather has been getting quite chilly and windy lately. Brrrrr.... and the apples from our trees are scattered all over the garden. Besides offering to my mister's colleagues, (yes, he has been taking apples to his office regularly) what shall I do with them? Let's try to bake an apple cake! :) 

Ingredients
3-4 large apples - Granny Smith or alike
1-2tbsps lemon juice
195g flour
120g sugar
1.5 tsps baking powder
1tsp cinnamon powder
85g butter-melted and cooled to room temperature
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsps milk
50g raisins

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a square pan-20cm in size or any other size pan.
2. Cut the apples into bite-sized and toss around with lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Combine and mix flour, sugar, cinnamon powder, salt with a stand or hand-held mixer.
4. Add in butter, eggs, vanilla extract and milk. 
5. Mix well in the mixer. 
6. Add apples and raisins and mix well to combine.
7. Pour batter into the baking pan and smooth the batter.
8. Bake for 35-45 mins or till golden brown. Check with a skewer. (if it comes out clean, then it is done)
9. Let it cool down for 10 mins.
10. Serve warm with a dollop of ice-cream or whipped cream.
11. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge and do reheat before serving.
