Any Home Bakers Here?

Thanks Ron! There was one tiny piece left that I had planned on having myself but got talked out of by one of our regular golfers. (He said since I hadn't made the pumpkin roll cake for a long time, I owed him. )

You are too nice!

Now you need to make one for youself

This coming Friday we have another big luncheon at the golf course restaurant and (again) it was requested that I provide dessert (didn't everyone get the memo that I'm the cook this year...being the baker was so last year).

I'm trying out a new cake recipe and calling it research. The cake part is done and smells wonderful but already found one problem with the recipe...it said it would make a 9x13" cake. No way. There was just enough batter for a 9" round (one layer). Guess that's ok seeing how DH and I are going to be the guinea pigs for this research project!

I'll be back later with results.

This is the recipe that My DD used:

Spiced Apple Cake



Ingredients

• 
  For The Cake
• 200g soft light brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 200ml sunflower oil
• 200g spelt flour, or plain flour
• 3/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon all spice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 200g Bramley apples, peeled and grated
  For the Topping
• 250g icing sugar
• 40g unsalted butter
• 100g cream cheese
• 2 small dessert apples
• ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
  To Serve,
• Maple syrup

Instructions

1. Prepare the baking tins by greasing and lining with baking parchment. (See Note below). Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C, or Gas Mark 3.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the butter, eggs and sunflower oil until combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, all spice and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter/eggs/oil until well combined.
3. Wash, peel and grate the apple and fold into the batter until equally distributed. Spoon the batter into the prepared tins equally. Tap the tins on the work surface to rid the batter of bubbles. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, turning and rotating the pans half way through the bake, if need be, until a cake tester comes out clean. Allow to cool a little in the tin before turning out onto a wire rack and cooling completely.
   For the Topping
4. To make the dried apple chips (optional), preheat the oven to 120 degrees C, or Gas Mark 1/2. Wash the apples and finely slice them. Lay them onto a parchment lined baking tray and sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Bake for 20 minutes, turning them over after 10 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave there to dry out a little longer. They should be nice and crispy.
5. For the frosting, sift the icing sugar into a large bowl. Add the butter and with a fork, mash the butter through the icing. Whisk until well combined. Add the cold cream cheese and beat until light and fluffy. Be sure not to over mix it.
6. Assemble the cake. Spoon one third of the icing onto one cake and with a spatula spread the frosting evenly. Top with the second layer and repeat the icing process. Repeat the entire process with the third cake. Top with the dried apple crisps. Once sliced for serving, drizzle with maple syrup (optional).

Notes

I have used 3 x 6inch pans here. This quantity of cake would also work for 2 x 8inch pans or a large loaf/cake pan. Baking times would be the same for the 8inch, more or less. If you are using a large loaf/cake pan, the baking time is approximately 45-50 minutes. If the top of the cake looks like it is browning too quickly, tent with foil and continue to bake until a cake tester comes out clean. If you are using a loaf tin, I suggest reduce the frosting quantity by half.
