According to Google Analytics/
Sitemeter, my most popular blog entry by far is my entry about
Delia's low fat carrot cake. I've been baking again tonight, this time I made a
Waitrose recipe for Dorset Apple cake. I hadn't even heard of a Dorset Apple cake until I saw this recipe in
Waitrose. It was surprisingly simple and delicious. It just needs some
accompaniment, such as
fromage frais,
clotted cream or vanilla
ice cream. It reminds me of a Breton cake really, in its simplicity and appearance. There is a Breton apricot cake that I still want to make, but today
was a British baking day. Having said that, Veggie Hubby and I did go to a French market, where there was even a stall selling Breton biscuits and crepes. There were many other stalls, including a cheese one as I had predicted, and a bag stall where I got a new black and white bag.

Looks nice man. I was going to do baking but we have an ant infestation, this house isn't as nice as we thought :-( I want to eat that chocolate cake from your wedding every time I see the picture on your blog title.
ReplyDeleteThanks, your house doesn't sound that great. Shame that you can't do baking there, I wouldn't want to either with an ant infestation.
ReplyDeleteLooks nice, but does it contain any cinnamon? I mean, I don't mind a little bit of nutmeg in apple recipes, but cinnamon just ruins, well, everything. Apple flavour stands on its own...
ReplyDeleteThanks. No cinnamon, but it does contain some mixed spice (I'm sure this could be exchanged for nutmeg) and lemon. It tastes of apple and lemon really. You share this hatred of cinnamon with my sister.
ReplyDeleteYep cinnamon is just foul...it smells horrid and it tastes horrid!
ReplyDeleteUggggh.... this looks SOOOOOOO good. And your cupcakes (above) look amazing! You should open a shop! haha
ReplyDeleteThanks Shop Girl*. Yes, the cupcakes do look amazing (professional, even!) but I can't take credit for them, they are my friend Ms. Cocoa's, I'm co-authoring tihs blog now. I want to try some of her cupcakes as they look absolutely delicious ...
