Here you go! Didn't know anyone else had ever heard of it! It is one of our favorites

1/2 lb sugar
1/2lb butter
2 eggs
1lb cooking apples peeled and sliced
12oz plain flour
2 tsp soda bic
1 1/2 lb dried fruit
1/2 tsp mixed spice

Oven 160 oC

Stew apples with sugar, melt butter into it. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add apple mixture and beaten eggs. Mix well, put into lined tins and bake 2-3 hours. you will smell when it is done.

You are welcome!

This is the only fruit cake we make, xmas, birthdays, wedding etc. Must set the kids on making a batch this week I think. Thanks for reminding me about it.

But, was this what you were looking for? Or was it without the dried fruit? I guess you could try not adding that and see how it turns out.

the one i used to make was a plain sponge with stewed apple on the bottom but your recipe sounds more interesting and daughter loves dried fruit so i know she will like this one thanks

If you have a Be-Ro book, look up Eve's Pudding which is exactly what you described.....if you haven't got a Be-Ro book then look at http://www.be-ro.com/f_insp.htm

Hope this is helpful!!!!!;)

I've got loads of cooking apples and I was wondering if anybody has any good recipes for apple cake or the like. I've already made loads of pie and sauce. Cheers

Hi gt568,

There are some recipes on this older thread that should help so I've merged your thread with it to keep all the replies together.

Would most of these recipes be suitable for freezing?
