raw apple cake

for eight years now, shayne has been talking about an apple cake that his mum makes and how it's the best cake ever!

i've asked his mum a few times for the recipe but she had been unable to recall it or remember where she put the recipe.

a month ago, one of shayne's uncle came to fiji for a visit and we got talking about desserts after dinner and he mentioned an apple cake recipe that shayne's mum had given them eons ago!

i've just received it and can't wait for the weekend to get here so that i can have a go at making it....will post the pictures then but here is the recipe

raw apple cake

4 cups chopped apples

2 cups sugar

mix these ingredients until moist

add 2 slightly beaten eggs, mix well

add the following ingredients:

1/2 cup melted butter

1/2 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

3 tblsp milk (mix well then add)

2 cups plain flour

mix well by hand (wooden spatula will do)

bake at 350°C about 30 to 45min depending on the oven

place the mix in a well greased pan

if you wish once baked, spread with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar as soon as it's removed from the pan, whilst its still hot
