An added extra

An old favourite of ours was on the menu for dessert last night.  Not part of the Donna Hay challenge, but well worthy of a mention

With loads of 'Granny Smith apples' in the bowl on the bench, I made the classic 'Dorset Apple Cake'. I know I'm supposed to use 'Bramley' apples, but we don't have those in Australia and I think that a Granny Smith is the next best thing!


There are many many recipes in Dorset for this cake but I used the recipe written on a postcard bought from that little gift shop at the top of Gold Hill ... the gift shop doesn't exist anymore but I'm sure the postcard is still readily available ;-)

This is a classic recipe in that it has never failed to turn out beautifully! It's such a versatile flavour that it is perfect for afternoon or morning tea or in our case an easy and yummy dessert!
