Recipe of the Month - March 2019 |
| From Our Provincial Grand Master. Delicious Apple Cake. "This recipe was given to me many years ago by an old friend, a Master Baker and a good Mason, Alan Burton of Blackpool” |
 |
| 6oz Castor Sugar 6oz Soft Butter 6oz Self raising Flour 1/2 tspn Baking Powder 3 Eggs 2 Medium Dessert Apples |
| This is an all-in recipe. Put the sugar, butter, flour, eggs + baking powder in a mixing bowl. Combine at slow speed, then beat at high speed for five minutes. Peel and core one and a half apples, then chop small, fold into the mixture. Put the mixture into a lined 8” spring loaded cake tin. Slice the unpeeled half of the remaining apple into 12 thin slices, arrange on the top of the mixture. Bake at 175 C in the centre of the oven for 1 hour (approx.) or until firm to the touch. When cool brush with a little apricot jam to glaze. |
| Eat on its own or be indulgent and serve with a little clotted cream. Many flavours, coffee, walnut, lemon etc can be added. it also lends itself to adding a filling of buttercream or fresh cream to make a sandwich cake. |
