Got this from WA CWA book-I think. It was that long ago. It is a lovely moist cake that keeps for ages. It was a staple when we went camping in the Flinders. It also makes a large cake...freezes well. Granny Smiths work well but any cooking apple would do. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups apples, cooked (unsweetened) |
2 cups sugar |
8 ounces butter |
16 ounces sultanas |
3 cups plain flour |
1 teaspoon mixed spice |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
4 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda |
Directions:
1. Mix the butter and sugar into the still HOT apples.
2. Stir in all the remaining ingredients.
3. Pour into a 14 x 10 greased pan. (I use a clear pyrex dish).
4. Bake for 1-1 1/2 hours 180°C
5. You can also serve this as a desert, sprinkle with icing sugar and a large dollop of cream.
6. Unsweetened canned pie apples (heated) can also be used (easier to measure the amount).
