Yes I’m still ploughing through the fruits from the garden trying to use them up before they go off. Last week I made a delicious Upside down apple cake so yesterday thought I’d do it with the addition of blackberries.
Ingredients
- 175g self raising flour
- 85 g caster sugar
- 85g margarine I use this for speediness as it’s already soft but you could use softened butter
- 2 small eggs
- 1tsp baking powder
- 1tsp cinnamon
- approx. 3 tbsp milk
- 2 large firm cooking apples (approx 450g)
- Large handful of blackberries
- 75ml maple syrup
- 70g butter
- 60g caster sugar
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/170ºc fan/ Gas mark
- Peel and core the apples, cut into quarters and cut each quarter in half to leave chunky wedges
- Put the flour, sugar, margarine, eggs, baking powder and cinnamon into a food processor and blitz until smooth and well blended. Add the milk and give a quick blitz. Leave to one side.
- Melt the butter in a large pan with the maple syrup and sugar and allow the sugar to melt and the mixture to reduce very slightly.
- Add the apple wedges and stir to coat in the syrupy mixture, allow the apples to soften very slightly but you don’t want them to go mushy.
- Using a slotted spoon remove the apples from the pan and arrange in a prepared lined 20 cm cake tin. Sprinkle over the blackberries and then pour any juices from the pan over.
- Spoon over the cake mixture, it seems very scant but will cover the apples adequately.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked
- Remove from the oven and cool slightly in the tin
- Using a plate on top of the cake tin invert the cake onto the plate and remove the lining.
- Serve hot or cold with cream, custard or ice-cream.
Good post! I Googled around for this… I located your site!Anyway, would you care if I posted a return link from my blog site to your web site?
You write very detailed,Pay tribute to you.Couldn’t be written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Looks yummy!!! And you make them all so pretty! Whenever I bake anything it tastes good – but I can’t say that it would win any awards for presentation.
Hehe……I suppose I do like it ‘looking good’ but that isn’t perfect and bugs me a bit lol! 😉
Y.U.M.
We just invested in a Vitamix machine. It even uses the “old” and “bruised” fruit!
I’m assuming that’s a juicer is it? I was just thinking the other day I could put some through the juicer.
I have a glut too so will definitely be making this! Thank you! x
great, let me know if you do. 😀
