I am now in a full on festive mood. So the second bake I prepared for the winter period is this easy tray bake. Smells lovely, taste delicious and easy to make, so all you can ask for when you have to rush round to do everything before the guests arrive. This recipe from the 1001 Cupcakes and cookies book.
Apple Gingerbread
150 g butter
165 g soft brown sugar
2 tbsp black treacle
225 g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cloves
150 ml milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 dessert apples, peeled, chopped and coated with 1 tbsp lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 160C and line a 23cm square cake tin with baking paper.
Place the butter, sugar and treacle in a saucepan and heat gently until the butter is melted, then leave to cool.
Shift the plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda ground ginger and ground cloves into a large bowl. Stir in the milk, egg and cooled buttery liquid. Pour the mixture into the tin and spread the apple pieces equally on the surface and smooth the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake has risen and a fine skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool in the tin before turning out and cutting into 12 bars.
