1 ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp mixed spice
200g golden caster sugar
75g soft light brown sugar
2 eggs
150ml vegetable oil

APPLE TOPPING

25g butter, plus extra for the tin
2 tbsp soft light brown sugar
2 eating apples, peeled and cut into wedges

Method

STEP 1
To make the apple topping, heat the butter in a pan and stir in the brown sugar until melted, then add the apples and toss. Leave to cool a little.
STEP 2
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and line the base of a deep 22-23cm square cake tin. Mix the flour, bicarb, ginger and mixed spice in a bowl. Put the sugars, eggs, oil and apple sauce in a separate bowl, and whisk to combine. Gradually add the dry ingredients, beating until combined.
STEP 3
Spoon the mixture into the tin. Arrange the apple pieces and drizzle the sauce from the pan on top and bake for 40-45 minutes. Keep an eye on it and cover the cake with foil for the final 5-10 minutes if it’s browning too much.
STEP 4
Cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out. Serve warm as a pudding or at room temperature. Drizzle with toffee sauce to serve.
