tablespoon optional; cinnamon, approx. ½
3 eggs

Preparation

1
Preheat the oven to 180° C

Put the butter and chocolate in a double boiler and over low heat let them melt slowly together. Once melted take of the heat and let it cool slightly.

4
Add the flour, selfraising flour and almond flour and combine until it becomes an even mass.

Add the melted chocolate/butter mix and stir until everything is completely combined.

If you want you can sprinkle the apple chunks with cinnamon prior to adding them to the batter.
7
Add the apple into the batter and mix well.
8
Line a baking tin with baking paper
9
Put the batter into the tin up to roughly 3/4. It's heavy batter so will not rise a lot.
10
Bake for about 35 minutes or until the top of the cake feels firm to the touch.
11
You can check with a wooden pin but keep in mind that it needs to be moist inside!
