- Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4, 180°C, fan 160°C.
- Grease and line a 23cm (9in) loose-based cake tin. In a large bowl beat together the eggs and sugar until thick and pale – this will take about 5 minutes – then pour in the oil and stir well to combine.
- Sieve in the dry ingredients and fold through until the mixture is smooth and well combined before adding the diced apples.
- Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 45-50 minutes. Leave to cool slightly before turning out onto a cooling rack. Once the chocolate cake is cool, dust with icing sugar and a little more ground cinnamon and serve in wedges.
