Storage Instructions:

Leftovers are best kept in an airtight cake keeper or similar container. It’s fine at room temperature rather than having to be refrigerated, and should stay fresh for 3 days or even longer. If it starts to go stale (a bit dry) you can serve it with custard or use it in a trifle recipe.

Variations and Substitutes:

Try pear instead of apple for a twist on the recipe, or add a pinch of nutmeg instead of, or as well as, the cinnamon. You can also make cupcakes with the batter rather than one large cake. Bear in mind the cooking time will be reduced if you’re making individual cupcakes so check on them after 25 minutes in the oven.
