Mixed Spice Apple Cake - a light healthier cake with fresh apples, sultanas and a hint of spices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yummy Apple Cake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A perfect cake to make and enjoy when you have some apples that need to be used up. A slice of this is perfect with a cuppa as an afternoon treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can even serve it with a little light cream or custard for a more decadent treat - yum!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substitutes for Sultanas in Cake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don't like sultanas? Sub for some chocolate chips, just don't forget to recalculate the values if you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like semi-sweet or even dark chocolate chips best in this cake as they compliment the apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What size cake tin for the Apple Cake?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I used a 7-inch springform cake tin to bake this cake. A 7 inch is just the right size, you don't really want one any wider or your cake will not get the right height, a 6 inch would possibly work too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven't tested it as muffins, but if you want to give it a go, then make sure you reduce the cooking time, as muffin-sized cakes will take a lot less time to cook that a bigger cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I use another type of sweetener?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will notice in this recipe I use a granulated sweetener which is Erythritol based and is used like for like in measurement to sugar. It also doesn't have that horrible after taste that you get with certain sweeteners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can't get sukrin gold, then I recommend using another Erythritol type sweetener, as this cake hasn't been tested with other sweeteners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other types of sweetener, are not used like for like for sugar, so you can't use them in the same measurements as I have here. However, if you do decide to give it a try with another type of sweetener, you need to look at the packaging and see what the sugar\/sweetener ratio is for that brand, so you know how to adjust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
