Dutch Apple Cake

An authentic recipe from Clearspring's Dutch amazake [1] producer.

7 slices

Ingredients:

150g white flour
50g maize flour
2 tsp baking powder
A pinch of Clearspring Traditional Sea Salt [2]
3 tsp Clearspring Sesame [3] or Sunflower Oil [4]
2 tbsp Clearspring Malt Syrup [5]
1/2 jar (190g) Clearspring Amazake
200g apples cut into chunks
50g raisins
Grated rind of half a lemon

Method

1. In a bowl mix the flours, baking powder, salt and oil.
2. Add the amazake, washed raisins, apple chunks and malt syrup until you have a thick batter that you can pour.
3. Oil a cake tin and pour in the batter until 75% full.
4. Bake for 70 minutes in the middle of a pre-heated oven at 180ºC (gas mark 5) covering, if needed, with baking foil after 30 minutes to prevent it drying out. Test with a chopstick or skewer to check that it is cooked.
