I think the fact that it's called "sticky" ginger and apple cake makes it more appealing to me too haha.

It is a very sticky, buttery rich cake though, so I'm sure it wouldn't be to everyone's tastes.

My dad cooked that once when I was much, much younger, and I think my brother and I were much... displeased, to put it mildly.<br /><br />I'm ashamed to admit that this is perhaps the first recipe of yours that I can't even envision myself making, as crystallised ginger is a flavour I cannot bear. The odd thing is I love ground ginger in sweet things, so there's clearly some sort of glitch in my brain. It *looks* yumsters though!Hannahhttp://wayfaringchocolate.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-46094817984783282712010-05-14T02:00:28.119+10:002010-05-14T02:00:28.119+10:00I found myself eating tripe by accident one day in...I found myself eating tripe by accident one day in France ... it was actually excellent.

Can you tell I am a Waitrose fan?Helenhttp://fussfreeflavours.comnoreply@blogger.com
