Learn how to make a traditional Dorset apple cake with Sue Quinn’s trusty recipe, inspired by a 1932 compendium of recipes compiled by a little-known British food writer.
Sue says: “I’ve updated this recipe from Good Things In England by Florence White. She was sent the original by a Miss Annette Vipan, who got it from a farmer’s wife in North Chideock, in Dorset. It’s a special recipe to me because I often drive through this village. Whenever I do, I picture that farmer’s wife, long ago, making this moist, buttery and very delicious cake.”
