Ingredients
  • 100g/ 7 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 100g/ ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 225g/8 oz/ 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 150ml/ 5 oz/ ⅔ cup dry cider
  • confectioner's sugar, for dusting
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
  2. Grease an 7inch/18cm round cake tin with butter. Then line the bottom with parchment paper (Just fyi, I used a 8 inch/20cm cake tin and this worked fine, but I thought I'd share what the expert said)
  3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat until the sugar and butter are light and fluffy. (This can take a minute or two)
  4. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  5. Fold in about ⅓ of the flour mixture into the butter. Then fold in half of the cider. Repeat until you have alternated mixing in the flour and cider. Stir gently until evenly combined.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared cake pan.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean.
  8. Leave the cake to cool.
  9. Dust with confectioner's sugar and serve.
