Bob's sister Denise went for a day trip to Swanage and sent us this postcard. On the back is the recipe for Dorset Apple Cake. So I made it on Sunday afternoon.
Mind you, as usual I was trying to do too much. By the time we'd had lunch, I'd sorted my Sunday School stuff, and delivered 60 church leaflets, I didn't quite allow enough time for it to cook before church. I missed the first hymn and tiptoed in during the second, much to the amusement of the rest of the congregation!
Here's the recipe
DORSET APPLE CAKE
- Preheat oven to 170'C
- Grease and line 18cm cake tin
- Cream together 225g each of butter & caster sugar
- Add 4 large eggs, 25g cornflour & 250g self-raising flour
- Fold in 225g chopped Bramley apples
- Pour into cake tin
- Cut segments from an unpeeled apple & soak in lemon juice
- Arrange in circle round top of cake
- Sprinkle with brown sugar for crusty glaze
- Bake for 75minutes

On the plate. Pleased to see the fruit is well distributed and hasn't sunk! It has a good moist flavour. The card says "serve cold or warm with cream." A spoonful of Sainsbury's 'basics' natural yogurt is just as good!
It made a good Sunday Supper whilst we watched 'Miss Marple'!
Yum! that looks so good, and apples are ready here now.
