Raspberry and Apple Cake

[Gemini]

I made this for the first time yesterday. It's lovely, moist and delicious.

The measurements are American, so in cups. I bought a set of cup measures a while ago, but you could always Google for the equivalent in weight if you prefer.
Don't take the serves 10 literally, as they would be very tiny slices!
