150g sugar
150g butter, softened
2 eggs
180g flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp NoMU Sweet Rub
Pinch of salt
400g / 2 apples, peeled, cored and coarsely grated
60g walnuts, lightly toasted and roughly chopped
5 pumps of NoMU vanilla paste
Topping:
60g walnuts, finely chopped
60g NoMU Sweet Rub
Preheat your oven to 180˚C. Butter and flour a loaf tin 30 x 11cm.
Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy and creamy.
Add the eggs and beat together well. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, NoMU Sweet Rub and salt into the butter mixture and mix well.
Add theapples, walnuts and vanilla paste and mix through well again. Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin.
To make the topping, mix the walnuts with the NoMU Sweet Rub. Scatter this generously over the surface of the batter after about 20 minutes in the oven.
Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean and the top is crispy and golden. (If the top is already brown after 30 minutes, cover with tin foil and continue baking).
Cool before turning the cake out of the tin directly onto the serving plate in order to preserve all the topping.
Serves: 10-12
