Title: Apple cake recipes
Post by: caroline7758 on December 01, 2010, 15:20:12

Does anyone have a straightforward apple cake recipe?

I used to have a dead easy microwave recipe but have lost it, and have tried a couple from the internet recently without being very impressed. I've got loads of cooking apples that need using up.

me too.

I used to have a 'dutch apple cake' recipe where you mixed the flour butter sugar and eggs quite stiffly and added chopped apples

Then made a spicy crumble for on top, that was nice but I can't remember the details.

I think it was in a Recipe book from one of the margarine companies I will go and google.

I have somewhere my mum's Dutch Apple cake recipe - delicious. I'll see if I can locate it, but it has been years since I've made it. But now you've mentioned Apple cake I want some  ::)

Or you could use David's Divine Dorset Apple cake recipe which I am eating at the moment, as I am still using up windfall apples. See http://www.growyourown.info/page148a.html

That looks quite similar to this one which I made yesterday and is yummy.

It does help when the quantities are very clear!

Brilliant.  Someone brought in an apple cake for Children in need fundraising and I ate loads of it.  Can't wait to bake this one.

I am also planning to use some apples up making a creamed rice pudding with apple compote.  Also delicious and I'll post the recipe if wanted.
