How to Make Autumn Apple Sponge Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Grease and flour a 20cm round cake tin.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Peel, core, and dice the apples. Gently fold them into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with icing sugar before serving (optional).
