Method

How to make Apple and walnut torta

1) Preheat the oven to 180°C/ gas mark 4.

2) In a small saucepan, heat the orange liqueur. Turn off the heat and add the cranberries, making sure all the cranberries are submerged in the liquid. Set aside.

3) In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and the orange zest. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

4) In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add the apples, walnuts, and drained cranberries. Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased 20 by 20 by 5cm glass baking dish or 20cm cake pan. Bake until a wooden skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean, about 30 mins.

5) To serve: while still warm cut into squares or wedges and serve with ice cream.
