INGREDIENTS

275 g plain flour

220 g brown sugar

120 ml milk (dairy or plant)

2 tbsp cornflour

110 g butter, room temperature plus a little for greasing (or substitute 100ml of oil)

1 whole apple - very thinly sliced

2 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

1 ¼ tsp ground ginger

2 tsp mixed spice (made from 1⁄2 tsp cinnamon, 1⁄4 tsp nutmeg, 1⁄4 tsp all spice and 1⁄4 tsp ground cloves)

2 eggs at room temperature

1 tsp vanilla (this is optional)

Combine dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Be sure to remove lumps. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with a fork and stir in the milk to make the ’egg mixture’.

Cream butter until light and fluffy (you can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this!). With the mixer on low, start by alternating the dry mixture and the egg mixture. Pour 1⁄3 of the dry mixture into the creamed butter, then add 1⁄2 of the egg mixture. Alternate until all ingredients used. Stir by hand to fully combine.

Grease rice cooker inner bowl with butter (make sure this goes halfway up the inner bowl). Arrange thin apple slices on the bottom in a pretty pattern and pour half of the mixture on top.

Tap the bottom of the inner bowl with your palm to dislodge bubbles. Add the remaining sliced apples and cake mixture.

Pat bowl again thoroughly then put in rice cooker. Select the ’CAKE’ function and the time for 45 minutes and press ’START’.

Leave to cool then empty onto plate. Invert the cake to serve to really show off the pretty apple effect.
