One Bowl Spiced Apple & Ginger Cake, so easy to make, so delicious to eat! #spices #apple #ginger #easy #cake #recipe

This Spiced Apple and Ginger Cake couldn’t be more simple to make, you put all the ingredients into a bowl, mix and bake you don’t even need a mixer, just a wooden spoon!  It’s a perfect tea time treat. 

I use apples from my tree to make Spiced Apple and Ginger Cake

 

My ‘Discovery’ apple tree is 5 years old and this year, for the first time, I had a large enough crop to start developing different ways to use the apples.  We all love apple crumble and apple pie, however, I do like to have a nice ‘cut and come again’ cake in the cake tin to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.  

Only one bowl and a wooden spoon required for this delicious Spiced Apple and Ginger Cake

The Softer Butter Co

I used butter from The Softer Butter Company which is 100% butter but softer which makes it ideal for baking. It spreads really easily too and is available at Tesco or Morrisons for around £1.45 for 250 g.

Star Baker Cake TinThis ‘Star Baker’ cake tin is perfect to store your Spiced Apple and Ginger Cake. It’s an official Love Productions ‘The Great British Bake Off’ Personalised Cake Tin, a 27 cm diameter x 13 cm high cake tin which comes with a whiteboard marker and eraser top.  It’s great fun to add your name to the tin or, as I have done, then bake that you have inside.  The Great British Bake Off Personalised Cake Tin is available from Debenhams  for £13.00 alongside a range of other Bake Off bakeware and kitchenware. 

Simple and in Season

I’m entering the Spiced Apple and Ginger Cake for Simple and in Season the recipe linky for seasonal treats run by Katie at Feeding Boys.

Bake of the Week

Spiced Apple and Ginger Cake is also my ‘Bake of the Week’  joining Helen at Casa Costello and friends in sharing our bakes.

    This sounds lovely – you really can’t beat an apple cake at this time of year, especially with all those spices. Yum yum 🙂

    oh yes that looks so good… love the knobbly top and how fab that it can all go into one bowl and stir! So easy… a gorgeous cake. Very jealous of your tree!

      Thanks Dom, simple recipes appeal to me and I know you love them too. I’m thinking of getting more fruit trees, I love being able to pick my own fruit.

    I love the sound of this! I wonder how well it would freeze? I NEED to freeze cakes or I eat the entire thing in one sitting (I usually quarter and freeze ‘portions’)

    Reply

      I don’t see why it wouldn’t freeze well, Fiona. It’s basically a fruit cake.

    Hi – is it 450g of apples once they are peeled and cored or before? Thank you!

      Hi Samantha, It’s 450g after peeling and coring. I’ll update the recipe to make it clearer. Thanks.
