Steam Combi Recipe: Italian Apple and LImoncello Cake

This is a really easy cake to make and it results in an impressively deep and light cake that actually improves over a few days as well. You can swap out the limoncello for other liquids, alcoholic or not but the limoncello results in a more intense lemon flavour  Rum with added vanilla would also work well for a different flavour

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 160 fan forced (with medium humidity if available)
2. Line a 20cm deep cake tin with baking paper
3. Place the peeled and sliced apple in the limoncello and toss to coat well
4. In a large bowl or kitchen mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and light
5. Add the lemon zest and vanilla and then beat in the oil.
6. Mix the dry ingredients and fold into the mixture.
7. Reserve 1/3 of the apple slices and mix the rest of the apple and liquid into the mixture
8. Pour into prepared tin and top with remaining apple slices
9. Sprinkle with raw sugar
10. Bake for 1 1/4 hour or until  a skewer poked into the cake comes out clean.
11. Remove from tin and allow to cool before slicing.
