Notes about this recipe

  • Snadra on November 03, 2011

    This really is a great cake, with a tender moist crumb. I make it several times a year. The most time consuming part is chopping the apples, and because you melt the butter rather than cream it there's no waiting around - perfect whn guest are on their way! The first time I made it I found an excess of butter, so now I use a bit less and replace it with Greek yoghurt. Cardamom makes a nice addition, and firm ripe pears make a good sub for the apples when they're in season. I use Kellybrook Apple brandy now, but before I found it I used rum, cognac or whiskey - all are good.
