With chunks of sweet apples nestled in a tender and buttery rum cake, this French apple cake is the essence of simplicity.

The summer after my junior year in college, what seems like eons ago, I worked as an au pair in Paris for a family with three little boys. My host mother, Valérie, loved to cook and would frequently enlist my help in the kitchen once the kids were in bed. Her French apple cake, with chunks of tart apples nestled in a tender, buttery rum cake, is a longtime favorite of mine. Similar to many homemade French desserts, like clafoutis, madeleines, or crepes, it is the essence of simplicity.

When this baking this cake or any any dessert with apples, such as apple crisp, apple pie, or apple cobbler, it’s important to use apples suitable for baking. Baking apples hold their shape when cooked, so the chunks of fruit won’t turn into applesauce in the oven. Tart-sweet varietals such as Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, Braeburn, and Jonagold are all great options. Feel free to combine different varieties for a more nuanced flavor.

Lots of Brits are into really nouvelle cuisine at the moment, but the old standbys remain popular. There’s good reason for it–they’re delicious!

This cake is no exception. This is a dessert cake. It’s very moist because of the amount of apple in it. It’s very much like a bread pudding–it’s dense but very tender. It melts in your mouth.

The English are not into layer cakes as we are here in the USA. Their traditional cakes are usually one big “layer” as in the photo above. And their cakes have moxie; they are not full of air and they don’t have a gossamer texture either. They’re solid. If you’ve ever eaten the famous Madeira cake, you’ll know what I’m getting at.

The traditional British cake tin is 7-inches. That’s not a standard size here so I’ll give bake times for an 8-inch springform pan as well.

Another thing I like about this cake is that it’s not overly sweet. That’s surprising for something of British origin since the Brits are really into “sweet.” They’re the world’s largest consumer of candy so that should tell you something.

If you use apples that are tart, the cake will have a little bite too. I like using granny smiths, but any eating apple will do here.

My mother never peeled the apples, so I’m assuming that’s the way the old timers made this. I did peel the apples mainly because I always found peel in this cake to be a bit offputting to it’s nice flavor. The only thing I didn’t peel were the apples for the top decoration.

Apple

This British apple cake uses two ingredients that are so typically British. They are available in the US but there’s great substitutes for them.

The spice in this cake is something called “mixed spice.” Yes, that’s what it’s called–for reals. However, pumpkin pie spice is a great substitute for it so use that since it’s widely available here.

Another typical British ingredient is demerara sugar. If you take sugar in your coffee and you can get demerara, try it. It will give your coffee a caramel-like flavor. I found this–in Walmart of all places–but Sugar In The Raw is the closest American product. However, plain old brown sugar will do too but you won’t get the crunch in the topping.
