Apple And Spice Cake South African

Quick and easy. You'll notice this is a muffin-type batter, but i prefer making this as a cake and serving it simply, in squares, with coffee or tea. It's also very good served with ice cream.

Steps

Preheat oven to 180 deg c / 350 deg f.

Using a square cake tin of 16 - 20cm in diameter , grease it well , line the bottom with cake paper , and grease the paper too.

Beat the egg in a large mixing bowl.

Add the grated apple , and toss well.

Measure and mix well all dry ingredients up to the allspice.

Mix the sugar , nuts and oil with the apple and egg in the large bowl.

Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Spread the batter -- which is sticky -- in the prepared tin.

Bake 45 - 60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Or fill 12 muffin cups and bake about 25 - 30 minutes.
