Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180ðC (350ðF) and grease a small cake tin or baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, melted butter, milk, and egg. Whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
  3. Arrange the sliced apples evenly over the bottom of the prepared tin.
  4. Pour the batter gently over the apple slices, spreading it out to cover the fruit completely.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Dust generously with icing sugar just before serving.
