We've got so many windfalls. All of the eaters have fallen but the bramley tree remains laden. We've been slowly working our way through the ones that are salvageable. Mr M made some marvellous chutney yesterday. We made the pork and apple dish from one of the Abel & Cole cookbooks and a large vat of stewed apple and boozy sultanas. And I made this
apple loaf cake.
Brilliantly the apple chunks and sultanas didn't drop to the bottom - I'm assuming because the butter and flour are blitzed into fine crumbs instead of creaming the butter and sugar, and then adding the flour. I split the mix between two tins and opted for a dusting of demerara sugar instead of the crumble topping. Delicious with a dollop of ice cream. It will be just perfect with an afternoon cup of tea.
The cake looks fab. Unfortunately I have a husband with a hatred of all forms of cooked fruit since school days. *sigh* I suppose I could make one just for myself......
ReplyDeleteDelicious! I made it and used your recommendation for the topping. It is nearly all gone so I might have to try another recipe to see if it is even better!
