Ingredients

  • 4 oz self raising flour
  • 4 oz caster sugar
  • 3 1/4 oz sunflower oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • pinch salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 a lemon, zest only
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • dash cinnamon powder
  • dash warm water
  • 1 coarse grated apple, excess liquid squeezed off

Method

  • Preheat oven to 180C
  • Mix oil and sugar in a bowl until well combined
  • Add eggs and lemon zest and stir mixture thoroughly until smooth
  • Add sifted dry ingredients (salt, flour, cinnamon) and fold into mixture gently until just combined
  • Fold in a whole small grated apple (coarse grated)
  • Pour into a greased 18cm diameter non-stick bundt tin
  • Cook in the centre of the oven for approximately 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted near the centre of the cake comes out clean.
  • Cool upside-down on a damp tea towel (keeping mixture moist facilitates release from cake tin)
  • Mix enough warm water and a generous pinch of cinnamon powder into the icing sugar to form a stiff but still wet icing able to slowly drip (test from end of spoon)
  • Turn out cake and allow to cool slightly before drizzling icing along the top and allow it to drip down the sides aesthetically
