Recipe
Pre-heat oven to 170 °C / 325 °F / Gas 3.
Grease and line a deep 18 cm (7 inch) round cake tin with greaseproof paper.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition. Add the flour, spices and baking powder and mix well. Fold in the apples and enough milk to give a soft dropping consistency.
Turn into the prepared tin and bake for 1½ hours until well risen and firm to the touch. Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
When the cake is cold, brush with the honey and sprinkle with the demerara sugar to decorate.
