When 2nd DD came for the weekend, we baked Cheddar Cheese & Apple cake!
sprinkled some golden brown sugar on top

Cheddar Cheese and Apple Cake ~ Adapted from Cake Keeper Cakes
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar (reducing it to half cup did no harm)
2 eggs
6 tablespoons milk
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 large tart apple, peeled, cored and cut into 1cm (or 1/4inch) dice

Preheat oven to 175C/350F. Grease and dust a 9inch round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Thoroughly mix in eggs, one at a time. Stir in half of the flour until just mixed in. Stir in milk. Stir in rest of flour until just incorporated. Stir in cheese and apple and mix well.

Pour into prepared pan, smooth top, and bake until the cake is golden brown and a skewer comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes then cool completely, right way up, on a wire rack.
Dust with icing sugar and serve.

Store cake in a sealed container at room temp for up to two days.
