Step 1
Turn on the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (160 degrees fan/gas) 4.
Step 2
Prepare a 20-centimeter/8-inch springform pan by greasing and lining the bottom with silicone paper.
Step 3
Whip the butter, vanilla, and caster sugar together until frothy. Gently beat in each egg, ensuring that each one is well mixed before adding the next.
Step 4
Carefully avoid overmixing after adding the flour and stirring to get a smooth batter.
Step 5
Slot the apple wedges onto the top of the mix; it’s okay if they appear a little overloaded; the apples will shrink while baking.
Step 6
Sprinkle with a mixture of demerara sugar and cinnamon.
Step 7
Bake for approximately 1 hour (check after 50 minutes) or until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean and the sponge is risen and golden.
Step 8
Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.
