![]() And because caramel and apples are just made for each other! Same reason why I added cinnamon. And it was gooood! So good that I wanted more. I made some more! That’s right, we’d already finished the first jar. Remember that delicious Salted Caramel Sauce I posted about a few weeks ago. Instead of the sultanas, I added caramel. The original recipe also calls for sultanas, but who has those lying around? I don’t… But if you do, throw them in! About 90 grams or 3 ounces. And as this cake gets its structure mostly form the apples – really the batter is just there to hold the apples together! – it’s a match made in apple cake heaven! I think they’re perfect for this cake! They’re not too sweet and they don’t become mushy in the oven. Balconies and apple trees don’t go well together, so I used storebought Granny Smiths. After that, I’m officially smart!Īnyway, I didn’t use windfall apples. Sure, my first guess was that it probably had something to do with apples falling from trees, but still! Windfall could have been a brand name, right? What do I know? I don’t know that much about apple varieties… So yeah, I looked it up. Now, don’t laugh, but I didn’t even know what windfall apples are when I first read through the recipe. In the book, this recipe is called ‘Windfall Cake’, because you make it with windfall apples. This one wasn’t, but I really like it anyway! ![]() I love it when nice people give me old cookbooks. It’s called ‘Country Harvest’ and it’s by Linda Burgess and Rosamond Richardson. ![]() Weird, right? I got this recipe from an old cookbook one of my mom’s friends gave me a few months ago. You then add a ton of apple pieces and stir it all together. To make this cake, you need to rub butter into a mixture of sugar, self-raising flour, salt and cinnamon. This cake is weird, remember? As you probably know – being the fabulous home baker that you are – most cakes are made by creaming butter and sugar together, adding a few eggs and vanilla, then mixing in the dry ingredients. See that photo up there? No, I didn’t forget to add the eggs. That’s why I like it so much! Weirdness should be celebrated, right? Well, as long as it’s a good kind of weird… Like cake weird! It’s super motivating! I have to turn my thesis in on the 30th of November, remember? (hey, I rhymed!) Well, I just wrote another 546 words! On collective memory and Maurice Halbwachs! Which is pretty amazing for someone who couldn’t write 50 words a few months ago.Īpparently, I perform well under pressure!īut let’s talk a little about today’s recipe: it’s probably the weirdest cake I’ve ever made! It’s super easy and really delicious, but very, very weird. ![]() I’ve been offered a writing job! Yay me! And not just any writing job, a culinary writing job! How awesome is that? I’m so super stoked about it! I’m starting my new job in December, so it’s done wonders for my thesis, too. In fact, I’ve got some super exciting news I’ve been dying to tell you! ![]() Oh wait, I forgot about the Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips… Never mind…Īnyway, when will I have time to make all those other fall recipes I’ve been wanting to post about – like pumpkin cake with walnuts and Dutch apple pie and the Rocking Rebel’s amazing cinnamon pancakes – before Christmas? Oh, and those of you still waiting for that new recipe for Spiced Pear Soufflés I promised, I’m working on it! It’s just that my life is a little crazy right now. There are so many delicious recipes I want to share with you, but I just don’t have the time! I mean, this is my first fall recipe. Really, this one post a week thing is not really working out for me. I thought it was appropriate, having missed Halloween and all. So… my first fall recipe! A super easy but very delicious Caramel Apple Cake. ![]()
