Jamie Oliver’s apple and cinnamon cake is a classic sponge cake flavoured with fresh apples and ground cinnamon.

It’s known for its moist crumb, gentle sweetness, and familiar, comforting taste that suits many occasions.

Ingredients

    • Unsalted butter, softened

    • Caster sugar

    • Eggs

    • Plain flour

    • Baking powder

    • Ground cinnamon

    • Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced or chopped

    • Milk

    • A pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Tin and Oven

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Grease and line a round cake tin with baking paper, making sure the sides are well covered.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar

Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. This step adds air to the mixture and helps create a light sponge.

Step 3: Add the Eggs

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. If the mixture looks like it may split, add a spoonful of flour to bring it back together.

Step 4: Add Cinnamon and Apples

Stir the cinnamon into the mixture, then fold in the prepared apples so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5: Add Dry Ingredients

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the bowl. Fold gently, adding a little milk if needed to create a smooth, spoonable batter.

Step 6: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared tin and level the top. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
