Even if you’re a novice cook you can make this Spiced Apple Loaf. It’s not only a deliciously moist cake, but it’s also full of flavor. I challenge anyone not to love this recipe.
It’s best when eaten the day after it is baked.
Honestly, try this cake!! Even if you’ve always been a bit scared of baking this recipe will inspire you to try more recipes!

Spiced Apple Loaf
Ingredients
- 9 ounces plain flour
- 6 ounces sugar
- 5 ounces soft butter
- 3 ounces raisins
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 -2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 -3 granny smith cooking apples
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 2 lb loaf tin with greaseproof paper or spray with cooking spray.
- Peel and core the apples, cut into chunks, place in a pan and cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer until the apples are just starting to soften. Drain and add a little sugar to taste (I prefer the apples to be quite tart). Leave to one side to cool.
- Put all the dry ingredients into a large bowl together and mix roughly. Next add all wet ingredients at same time, mix until all of the flour mixture is taken up.
- Pour into the loaf tin and cook for 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours until browned.
- When the cake is cooked, Leave it in the pan until it's cool. Then you can remove it and wrap in foil.
Recipe Notes
This cake is best left until the next day to eat (if you can wait that long!)
