Apple Crumble Cake

Whilst on holiday recently I did a lot of baking; most of the cakes I baked were very nice but quite standard "nothing special" cakes (e.g. carrot cake, chocolate brownie) but this apple crumble cake was a bit different and very delicious so thought I would blog it. I found the recipe on the Waitrose website (here) but changed the method as I couldn't be bothered to do some of the things it suggested and the cake was lovely anyway.

Spiced Apple, Pear, and Ginger Loaf

It's been a busy few weeks and I've had no time for blogging recently; hopefully with the end of term looming I will have a bit more time to blog in the near future. This is a recipe for a marvelous cake that I made recently; I wanted to make a pear/apple ginger loaf but struggled to find a suitable recipe, so I did what I usually do and combined several. It took a few tries before I got the recipe right but this one turned out lovely - the golden syrup really gives a lovely moist consistency to the cake, and the stem ginger tastes fantastic.
