After a brief diversion in the form of oatmeal-caramel-hazelnut-chocolate bars, I finally managed to try out your coble cake recipe, just like I promised.<br /><br />What can I say? Tha cake is Awesome, with a capital 'A', no less. I followed your instructions regarding the sponge - beating the butter for 10 minutes, room-temperature ingredients, adding some flour - but it still curdled! Darn! However, when I took it out of the oven, the cake was light and pleasant to bite, so maybe I lucked out after all. And I sheepishly admit that we ate half of it without whipped cream, because no one could be bothered to make it when there was such a warm, tasty apple cake up for grabs. The spicy sponge combined with mushy sweet-and-tart apples is just heavenly. It's such a simple, hearty, homely bake - probably one of my favourite recipes ever.morrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-42108815246059499332011-11-28T13:26:51.834+00:002011-11-28T13:26:51.834+00:00Oh, CC, could you possibly, possibly use your supe...Oh, CC, could you possibly, possibly use your superpowers and recreate that toffee betty apple cake?

Spend as long as you can whipping up the butter and sugar. I whip it, with my Kitchenaid on a high speed, sometimes for 10 mins or more - it ends up looking like whipped cream.<br />If you follow stage 2, it should mean you can beat in your eggs without needing any flour to stop it curdling - I think this is important because any curdling is a loss of volume/air<br /><br />Hope this helps<br /><br />Happy baking!The Caked Crusaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840224194242219981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-12923351464359416622011-11-15T13:34:24.116+00:002011-11-15T13:34:24.116+00:00Hi, I love your blog and often follow your recipes...Hi, I love your blog and often follow your recipes but i never get the amazing height you seem to get in your sponges!!

So not too mushy at all. At one job I had we were raising money by various means (fancy dress, quizes etc) to send people on the 3 peaks challenge and the most successful venture by far was the Friday Cake Bake. Most people baked a cake (or got someone else to do it for them - like their Mum/partner/child) and most people paid to eat cake each friday. The tea room was full to bursting each friday with people who usually didn't have the time stopping to chat while eating cake, swapping recipes etc. So, for the next summit of world leaders, I suggest you and I, and as there seem to be a lot of world leaders, a few others possibly Choclette and Kate, take much homemade cake along to bring them together and the world may well become a better place. A new career opportunitiy arises.Lady Chutneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15273053240515018453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-38765918389103012022011-11-02T00:59:54.672+00:002011-11-02T00:59:54.672+00:00Gosh, there were just so many cakes that I didn...Gosh, there were just so many cakes that I didn't know which one to comment on!

Loved the cake photos. There is a tiny little tea room in Rye, Sussex that sells the most divine chocolate cake in humungous portions and looks a lot like the chocolate cake you pictured. I haven't been to Rye for a while so don't know if it's still there. It'a worth a trip just to find out after looking at your photos.Lady Chutneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15273053240515018453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-71479507516198935182011-10-31T23:40:04.538+00:002011-10-31T23:40:04.538+00:00Those cakes look amazing!!! gloriaThose cakes look amazing!!! gloriaGloria Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055543111865966546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-42315590127657253522011-10-31T23:30:30.684+00:002011-10-31T23:30:30.684+00:00Amazing selection here, looks like you had a good ...Amazing selection here, looks like you had a good holiday.
