How to Make Apple Thyme Cake
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake tin.
- Cream together 170g softened butter and 200g granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 250g all-purpose flour, 50g fine cornmeal, 5g baking powder, 2g baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add 200ml buttermilk to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Fold in 200g peeled and diced apples and 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves.
- Pour batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- (Optional) Drizzle with a Shiraz glaze (reduce 1 cup of Shiraz wine by half on the stovetop, then whisk in 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar until desired consistency). Serve with thick cream.
