Apple and Raspberry Heaven Cake



If you don't like this you're dead. Tru fax. Now go and get the ingredients and get a-bakin'.


What you will need -
200g Raspberries (fresh or frozen)
225g chopped apples
70g Caster sugar
225g Self raising flour
150g Very soft Butter
A pinch of salt
2 beaten eggs
3 tbsps milk
15g Flaked almonds
Icing sugar, to decorate



Method -
1. Preheat your oven to 180c and grease a 20cm round tin.
2. Mix the flour and salt together.
3. Rub in butter until it looks like breadcrumbs.
4. Stir in the apples and sugar.
5. Beat in the milk and eggs.
6. Very gently fold in around 3/4 of the raspberries.
7. Pour the mixture (it should be quite wet) into the prepared tin.
8. Sprinkle over the remaining raspberries and the flaked almonds.
9. Bake for around 1hr or until golden and firm.
10. Cool on a rack and once ready to serve dust with icing sugar.



This is a recipe I've been baking for years. Swap out the berries as the seasons change, the blackberry version is, quite frankly, epic. Cranberries work well for a Christmassy treat too.

TTFN,



P.S. What have you been baking recently?

    I tried out a new recipe for gingerbread cake this week. Couldn't taste test it myself as the recipe had milk in but it disappeared pretty quickly so I assume it tasted ok.
