Ingredients:
For the cake:
4 large eggs
250g granulated sugar
1 tbsp of vanilla bean paste
375ml Greek yogurt
100g self-rising flour
Finely grated zest of 1 lime
3 apples, peeled and cut into small pieces
1 tsp of sugar and the juice of the zested lime
For the caramel:
200g sugar
15g salt
50ml double cream
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
Using an electric whisk beat together the eggs, vanilla and sugar until twice the volume and light and fluffy.
Add in the Greek yogurt and continue to mix again for 1 minute.
Sieve in the flour, followed by the lime zest.
Using a metal spoon carefully fold in the flour into the egg mixture being careful to not knock out any of the air.
Pour the cake mixture into a 20cm cake tin.
Sprinkle the apples over the top of the cake, bake for 50 minutes.
While the cake bakes, place the sugar, salt and cream into a non-stick pan on a low heat for 15 minutes.
As the mixture heats up it will begin to turn a golden colour.
When the cake has cooled for 10 minutes pour the warm caramel over the cake and serve.
