Dorset Apple cake
8oz self raising flour 4oz butter 4oz caster sugar 8oz apples - peel and cores removed grated rind of 1 lemon 1 egg 20z sultanas (opptional)
Rub the butter and flour together until resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, the fruit and the rind. Beat the egg well and add to mix. Stir well until it's all combined. Put into a well greased 7" cake pan (a loose bottomed or spring sided round pan is best) and spread evenly. It should be a thick, lumpy mixture, not a runny batter.
Bake in a moderate to hot oven (375 F, Gas Mark 5/6) for 30-40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Can be served hot or cold with cream, custard or spread with butter.
