Spiced Apple Ring Cake Recipe

Grate the apples on the coarse side of a cheese grater.

Put the grated apple into a bowl along with the hazelnuts and combine well.

Add flour, sugar, bran, baking powder and other spices to the apple mixture and stir well to blend the ingredients thoroughly.

Rub the margarine into the apple and flour mixture until it is evenly combined and no large lumps remaining.

Stir in the milk and mix to a fairly stiff batter.

Carefully pour the batter into a lightly greased 6 inches mold.

Make the top even with the help of a metal spoon and allow the cake to stand in the tin for about 5 minutes before baking.

Bake the cake on high for 3 minutes then reduce the power to medium and continue cooking for a further 4 minutes. After this time, the cake should be set but still moist.

Allow the cake to cool in the dish for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
