Bake in the oven at 175°C (350°F) for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Cool and serve:
Leave the cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Serving suggestions:
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy with a cup of hot tea or coffee for an afternoon snack.
Dust with icing sugar before serving for a festive presentation.
Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Serve with a side of fresh berries for a light, fruity contrast.
Cooking tips:
Make sure to sift the flour and baking powder to avoid clumping.
Grate the lemon zest finely for an even distribution of flavour.
If your apples are too sweet, reduce the amount of sugar in the topping slightly.
Check the cake after 40 minutes with a toothpick to make sure it’s not overbaked.
Leave the cake to cool before cutting so the flavors can settle and the texture can firm up.
