Recipe For Cake Icing

Recipe: Apple and olive oil cake

TO FINISH

125g peach or apricot jam 250g mascarpone 25g golden syrup 10g icing sugar sifted 1 tsp vanilla extract

Have ready 2 x 23cm nonstick loose-bottom cake tins at least 4cm deep. Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Brush the tins with a little olive oil. 
Peel and core two of the apples and dice the flesh. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large frying pan over a gentle heat and fry the diced apple with the cinnamon stick for about 5 minutes until translucent but not coloured, stirring frequently (this seals the fruit and helps retain the juices). Transfer to a bowl, discarding the cinnamon stick.
Using an electric whisk, in a large bowl whisk the eggs and sugar together for
2 minutes until pale, thick and doubled in volume. Fold in the olive oil, then sift and
fold in the flour and baking powder, and finally add the lemon zest until combined.
Fold the reserved apple into the cake mixture and divide it between the tins, weighing for accuracy and spreading it out evenly.
Core and quarter the remaining apple. Finely slice the quarters lengthways and arrange the slices decoratively on one of the cakes in two circles, as in the picture, starting about 1cm in from the edge.
Transfer both cakes to the oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until risen and firm and a skewer inserted at the centre comes out clean. Leave the cakes to cool without running a knife around the edge.
Gently heat the jam until it loosens, then press it through a sieve. Brush the jam over the cake topped with the apple slices.
For the filling: blend the mascarpone, golden syrup, icing sugar and vanilla together in a bowl. Spread the mixture over the second sponge, then sandwich with the glazed apple-topped sponge. Leave to set in a cool place for about 30 minutes. The cake will keep well overnight, loosely covered and chilled. Remove it from the fridge an hour before serving.
