Apple Cake

This is quite a versatile cake, you can top it with any stone fruit, or simply go for apples.  I take the skin off green apples, but you can leave it on, especially if you decide to use red apples.  Top the cake with a mixture of castor sugar, cinnamon and melted butter as soon as it comes out of the oven.  You can also add some cinnamon to the flours if you like.  

Another variation is to make your favourite crumble mix, and put on the top before you bake the cake.
