Polish food is enjoying a fast growing popularity around the world, and there are several different versions of a Polish Mazurek or Mazurka cake, and this is one my mother used to make.

The texture is between shortbread, and a cake, and I have altered it as I use coconut sugar, where Mum would have used white, refined castor sugar.

You can also vary the amount of apple and I have used more than her original version.

This is also a good way to use up egg yolks which I often have left over.

This cake can be served warm, hot, or cold and is delicious with thick cream.
