Apple Cinnamon cake - mostly my own creation

This is a tried and tested recipe, and on request of a few friends I am sharing it with you guys :)

This recipe infact is a combination for a few others with my modifications

The below is for a half kg cake -

Ingredients:

- 1 cup flour finely sieved 

- 3/4th cup super fine sugar

- 2 Table Spoon honey

- half an apple thinly sliced soaked in rum for couple of hours

- cinnamon powder 1/2 cup

- 2 eggs

- fresh cream

- 1 pinch salt

- 1 tea spoon baking powder

- pinch of cooking soda

- Olive oil (for the heath conscious guys) or Butter or Margirin (3/4th to 1 cup)

Method: 

1) sieve the flour, baking powder, soda and half of the cinnamon powder and mix

2) Beat the sugar and butter/oil with an electric mixer for 5 - 7 mins till the batter is smooth fluffy and light in weight

3) Add only the egg yellow (make sure the egg whites are separately removed) and honey to this sugar mix and continue beating till a liquid consistency is obtained. Then add the fresh cream to this batter

4) Now bit by bit start adding the flour mixture to this liquid batter... making sure no lumps are there. This should be mixed by hand for 10 mins

5) Simultaneously pre heat oven for ten mins @ 150 C .. (u can also use microwave for this cake)

6) Now to the Egg whites add 1 pinch of salt and start beating it with electric mixer to obtain a fluffy white batter

7) Once the flour and cream batter is smooth  add this fluffy egg whites and gently stir it in for few mins only

For the decorative icing first rub in butter/oil on the base of the metal pan, then dust the entire inner lining with flour. place the apple pieces in round twirling design. now dust Cinnamon powder all over this design and along the inner lining of the Pan

Add the cake batter on this apple cinnamon pan, i suggest cover the pan with foil so ur cake does not burn.

Put in oven for 40 mins @ 130 degree C .. check towards the end if the cake has risen, if not put it in oven for another 10 mins...

Incase ur using a microwave put this cake batter in a glass pan for 6 mins only.

After removing it from oven, let the cake cool for half hour then turn it upside down onto a plate to have the apple side as the top icing ....

serve with Vanilla Ice cream and viola!!! Its Yummy all the way :) :)
