Traditional Welsh Monmouthshire Apple & Cider Cake

Cream together butter and sugar, then beat in eggs one at a time. Sift in flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.

Stir in a good splash of dry Welsh cider to make a smooth, fragrant batter.

Fold in peeled and chopped cooking apples.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 45-50 minutes.

While warm, brush the top with a cider and sugar glaze.
