Method

Grease a loaf tin with butter and line the base with baking paper. Pre heat the oven to 160c.

Beat the butter, golden caster sugar, almond extract, vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon almond butter until smooth and creamy.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together and slowly add to the butter mixture. Sift in the self-raising flour and beat until just combined. 

Pour half of the mixture into the prepared tin. Add a layer of half of the thinly sliced apples and 1 tablespoon of drizzled almond butter. Top with the remaining cake mixture and apple slices. Then, sprinkle with the almond flakes.

Bake in the oven for 50 - 60 minutes or until the cake is cooked when tested with a skewer. The skewer should be clean.

Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before placing it on a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle with the remainder of almond butter and add some flaked almonds for texture.

Enjoy!
