This delightful cake is easy to whip up for any occasion.
Preheat Oven to 180C and grease and line a 20cm cake tin or loaf tin.
Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition.
Fold in the flour and gently spoon mixture into your prepared cake tin.
Arrange the apple slices across the top. Sprinkle with the cardamom and almonds.
Bake for 45 minutes. Place the jelly in a small saucepan and cook until it melts into a syrup.
Pour over the still hot cake and let it cool in the tin before turning out to slice and serve with thick cream.
