Wish me luck. The first apple cake tasted good, but it just ended up a bit too wet and undercooked, tasted OK with custard, more a pudding than a cake, but I will not be beaten, so am trying again with fewer apples, must admit I added a few more to the recipe, and maybe do half with conference pears, and cook a bit longer and not turn it out before it was really, really cold.
But it was cooked with love, and tasted OK, I am the new Val from the Bake Off, I love that woman, and Mary Berry, Paul Hollywood, is good looking but we will see what the new programme is like without lovely Mary. Such a lovely lady.
