Saturday Morning With Jack Tame

Caramel apple cake  This cake has it all going for it – quick to make and bake, soft and moist, incredibly delcious with a thick caramel icing – it’s like a nog soft comforting pillow!  The recipe makes a very large sheet pan cake, enough to give away so cheer up someone’s day.  Makes 25x35 rectangle cake  220g butter 1 cup water  2 cups plain flour  1 teaspoon baking soda  Pinch salt  1 teaspoon cinnamon  1 cup sugar  1 cup brown sugar  ½ cup yoghurt or buttermilk  2 large eggs, lightly whisked 200g (about 2 medium) chopped apples  Icing:  1/3 cup sugar  Splash water 120g butter  ¼ cup milk  3 cups icing sugar  Preheat oven to 200 C. Grease and line a shallow 25x38cm rectangle tin. You could use 2 x swiss roll tins. In a medium pot bring the butter and water to a boil.  Sift in dry ingredients – flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and sugars – until combined. Add in yoghurt and eggs and stir to combine then fold in the chopped apples.  Pour batter into the prepared tin spreading it into the corners. Bake for
