• Add sugar and whisk to blend then add vanilla essence.

• Use a rubber spatula to fold ¾ of the apples into the batter (reserve the extra for the heart shaped topping).
• Pour the apple batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top.
• Arrange the remaining apple slices on the top of the cake batter to create a heart shape.
