Last weekend was trying to come up with a cake that doesn't look 'dark' since the kids are havingt exam and can't afford to be sick. Trying to think of somethining different, short of time (need to get cake baked within 2 hours) plus the brain was abit groggy since my throat and teeth wasn't feeling too well.
Decided to use sliced apple as a base sprinkled with brown sugar to give it a brown look when turn upside down. Then the stingy part of me decided to use plain cake paper since greased proof paper are more expensive, to line the bottom to ease turning over. Next the cake. Didn't want to use plain pound cake since it is so 'plain'. Saw the recipe for orange cake so proceeded to use that recipe. Three quartered way thro creaming with eggs added, decided the cake is too small to cover cake tin so decided to multiply everything by 5/3. (ok,ok I know I am a maths person but actually the reason was because I wanted to use 250 g of butter instead of the original 150 g) In the process everything was slowed down by another 20 minutes and I added extra sugar. (fingers crossed from then on). Cut the story short, got the cake done in the last 5 minutes and when it was turned over, Au and daddy had trouble peeling off the paper. ; p
Comments. Good very nice not that sweet from the fussy no sweet happy garden residents ; p phew, good from the kids. Ad the no-cake-eater too a slice for breakfast on Sunday and the cake was gonethis morning.
Conclusion oklah, can bake it again with a few changes. Use 3 apples, season with salt/lemon juice. Add cinammon to apples, no saving cake paper and measure right amount of sugar. And not forgetting start abit earlier. Last but not least cut a piece for myself before it is gone!
