Step 1

Serves 10-12

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 170°C/gas mark 3. Butter a 22cm square or round cake tin (buttering is not necessary if the 'tin' is silicone).

Step 3

Cut the apples into quarters, then cut each quarter lengthways into 6 slices. Place in a bowl and gently mix in the lemon juice so that the slices are well covered.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. This can be done with a wooden spoon or electric whisk. Add the flour, hazelnuts, sultanas, eggs, lemon zest and vanilla extract. Using a large metal spoon, stir to combine.

Step 5

Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin, then push in the apple slices so that they are just showing. Sprinkle a little granulated sugar over the top.

Step 6

Bake in the middle of the oven for about 1 hour, or until a skewer or knife tip inserted in the centre of the cakes comes out clean. If the cake starts to brown too quickly, place a piece of foil or greaseproof paper over the top. Allow to cool a little in the tin and serve with the sweetened whipped cream.
