Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 200 g gluten free self raising flour
  • 200 g dairy free butter
  • 200 g light brown sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 4 apples (2 grated in the cake mixture and 2 chopped into slices on the top)
  • 100 g sultanas
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum

Instructions

  • Add the eggs 1 at a time and continue to whisk the mixture.
