An apple a day…..

……can be used to make one of these, a Squidgy Spiced Apple Cake

012 I was given lots of windfall un-named cooking apples by a client. With them I have made jars of apple & rosemary jelly, frozen several pots of apple sauce & made a number of variations on the theme of Apple Crumble & stumbled upon this recipe whilst browsing. Apple requirements; 1 large cooker.

Not high-end dining I know but this was delicious served with a blob of creme fraiche & some sliced cox fried with honey & calvados. The cake apparently improves with keeping so am looking forward to testing that hypothesis!

  2. That looks yum, makes my flapjacks and Victoria sponge look boring

  3. Arabella, you may pop in for cake any time.
    PG, there is nothing boring about flapjacks & victoria sponge. This cake is a total doddle though.
    Mike, you are very welcome. Sadly I have watched too many Masterchefs so I know a pud in a 'high-end' restaurant would not be cake, but then, am I bothered?

  4. I usually skip the chutneys and go straight to the cake making. I have found cakes keep only if you make two of them.
