Ingredients:
150g Butter
150g honey
2 eggs
225g plain flour (sifted)
1 level tsp baking powder (sifted)
½ tsp salt
70 ml mead
½ a dessert apple, sliced into thin wedges
1 ½ tsp of demerara sugar
½ tsp of cinnamon
Method:
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
Beat the butter, honey & eggs together in a bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, salt & mead. Mix well.
Spoon into a 7½ inch round cake tin and arrange the apple slices in a circle on top of the cake. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of the cake mix.
Cook for 40 - 45 minutes in the centre of the oven. Cover with greaseproof paper if it starts to brown too quickly.
Drizzle with a little honey and leave to cool for 15 minutes before slicing. The cake will continue to cook during this time.
