In a large bowl, whisk together 150g caster sugar and 4 eggs until light and fluffy.
Step 3.
Fold in 150g plain flour gently to keep the air in the mixture.

Core and thinly slice 3 Golden Delicious apples. Arrange the apple slices on top of the sponge mixture in a circular pattern.
Step 6.
Sprinkle 2 tbsp demerara sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon over the apples.
Step 7.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Let the tart cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9.
Dust with icing sugar before serving.
