 ======Apple Cake======
-We used to make an apple cake pretty often when I lived in [[Italy]], so I've been trying to recreate the recipe with some help from [[duckduckgo]]. Even easier to make that a [[carrot_cake|carrot cake]].

 ===== Ingredients =====
   * 3–4 apples.
+  * 3 eggs.
+  * 140g castor sugar.
+  * 120ml olive oil.
+  * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
+  * 200g self-raising flour.
+  * Small pinch of salt.
 ===== Method =====
   - Preheat oven to 180℃.
+  - Whisk the eggs and sugar together, till lightened.
+  - Add oil and vanilla.
+  - Slowly mix in flour, then salt and any other spices you want.
+  - Dice half the apples and add.
+  - Pour into lined cake tin.
+  - Slice (maybe 3–4mm) the rest of the apple, and place on top.
+  - Bake until ready, maybe 40 minutes.
 ===== Notes =====
-  * My oven's got its own ideas about things, so I set it to 200℃, and cook for and hour and a half.

   * Lots of recipes online //blend// the ingredients together, but I haven't tried that.
   * In case you don't know: there are certain apples that are good for cooking, generally ones that are a bit sour like Granny Smith.
+  * In Italy you can by little packets of //lievito//, and the dessert ones have vanilla in them.
+  * Wholemeal flour could be nice, maybe half-half.
+  * Lots of recipes online top the cake with icing sugar, but that seems like overkill to me.
+  * Originally I used a less complex method: dry stuff, eggs, oil, apples...
+  * Cinnamon's an obvious spice to try adding. I've tried lemon myrtle and wattle seed, and that was a nice combo.
