Ingredients:

  • 4 free-range eggs
  • 250g (9oz) sugar
  • 200ml (7fl oz) oil
  • 500g (1¾oz) apple, peeled, grated
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/Gas Mark 4, then line a 20x30cm (8x12in) baking tin with baking parchment.
  2. Cream the eggs, oil and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix with all the other ingredients, except the jam, until it becomes a smooth batter.
  3. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes or until cooked – a skewer should come out clean when inserted into the centre.
