Very, very good!
Ingredients:
375 ml (1-1/2 cups ) all purpose flour
15 ml (1 tbsp) ground ginger
5 ml (1 tsp) baking soda
2 ml (1/2 tsp) each ground cinnamon and salt
75 ml (1/3 cup) each vegetable oil and molasses
125 ml (1/2 cup) packed brown sugar
1 egg
125 ml (1/2 cup) unsweetened apple sauce
25 ml (2 tbsp) minced ginger
Topping:
50 ml (1/4 cup) butter melted
175 ml (3/4 cup) packed dark brown sugar
500 ml (2 cups) sliced peeled apples ( about two)
Preparation:
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and set aside. In a large bowl, beat together the oil, molasses and brown sugar. Next beat in the egg until is smooth. Stir in the apple sauce and minced ginger until it's smooth and set aside.
For the topping, pour the melted butter in a 1.5 liter (9 inch) round cake pan , brushing butter up the sides. Spread the brown sugar evenly over the butter. Arrange the apples on the top.
Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until it's just moistened. Pour the mixture over the apples.
Bake in a 180C (350F)oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan on a fire rack for five minutes. Run a thin spatula around the edge of the cake to loosen and then invert it onto a serving plate.
