With apples in season here…it’s time for ‘APPLE CRUMBLE’
“I know the look of an apple that is roasting and sizzling on the hearth on a winter’s evening, and I know the comfort that comes of eating it hot, along with some sugar and a drench of cream… I know how the nuts taken in conjunction with winter apples, cider, and doughnuts, make old people’s tales and old jokes sound fresh and crisp and enchanting.” Mark Twain APPLE CRUMBLEIngredients: Apples- 6-8 / 1 kg (crisp ones, a bit tart are ok)Juice of 1 lemon (increase if apples are sweet)Sugar (granular) – 2 TbspsRaisins – 1 handfulCinnamon – 1 tspWalnuts – ¼ Cup/ choppedToppingFlour – 1/3 cupSugar- 2 TbspsCinnamon –…

POUND AWAY, POUND AWAY… It’s the Mocha Chocolate Chip Pound Cake
My vote for an everyday/on-the-go cake goes to the Pound Cake!! Its the one cake that can eaten without frosting, or then spruced up with a ganache or drizzled with chocolate...whatever!! Sturdy enough to go for a picnic, and can be fiddled around with to suit your tastebuds.

Armenian Nut Cake…with a cookie base!!
And here are pictures of the Armenian Nutmeg Cake. The cake was delicious, though it was a bit small for my 8inch tin. Maybe a smaller tin next time. Also, for some reason I didn’t get the crunchy base, but will definitely try this one again. The nutmeg flavour was awesome, and the cake had a certain ‘warmth‘ to it…great with a cuppa coffee! DH enjoyed it warm and chilled, and the kids loved it warm with a dollop of ice-cream. Here is the recipe from the ‘Esurientes’ Thank you, Niki!!
