Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

My Mum’s recipe. She tells me she can’t count the number of people who have asked her for the recipe. I made it the other day for the first time and shared it with a friend who has asked for the recipe. So, it’s a goody. And pretty easy too. (Shown here without the almonds because of an allergy in the family)

CAKE:

225g butter

450g sugar

3 eggs

1 cup milk

450g Self raising flour – sifted

3 apples peeled and sliced

1/2 cup chopped almonds

TOPPING:

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp butter melted

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time and combine. Add flour and milk and beat until smooth. Put half of mixture into a greased 24 x 24cm cake tin. Spread sliced apples over cake mix and top with remaining cake mixture. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 220 C for approx 35 minutes. Test with skewer.
