This weeks recipe was this apple cake which I only actually got to bake today. It is described in the book as "more apple than cake" and as being "rather plain but very appealing in it's simplicity". I used a mix of Braeburn, Royal Gala and Rose apples in mine and instead of rum (which I'm not so keen on), I used Brandy. It is very easy to make and you don't even need a stand mixer to make it. I had a small slice so I could comment on the cake itself. I would have to say it seems to have more of a clafoutis type of texture. It also tastes really lovely and would be great with some lightly whipped cream. I'm going to take it to work tomorrow as I am on a (rare) day shift. You can see how the others went with their cake here. Sorry about the photo quality but I was in a rush to get this posted.
Your right it did remind me of clafouti but I couldn't put my finger on it. Your cake looks lovely. I hope you are enjoying your spring. We are heading into winter here. B
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks great! I skipped the rum too and added whipped cream on top. I really liked this recipe and agree it's not so much like cake...but still yummy. :)
ReplyDeleteI am learning that the best recipes to learn, cook, blog about are the very simple ones that would otherwise get past up in the blogosphere. This was just so perfect for so many reasons, don't you think? Your looks just beautiful!
