This stunning cake recipe comes from my daughter’s mother-in-law, Poppy. It takes about 10 minutes to make and never fails to impress. Poppy’s been making it since 1975 and estimates she’s shared the recipe with 100 people and made it 1000 times! We’ve taken her advice and glazed it with our lovely apricot jam.

As we head into the cooler months, it’s time to cook and enjoy some recipes that are made for these chilly nights.  Aside from that, it’s apple season in Tassie in the autumn, so what better use than to get baking! This is a simple, yet delicious recipe for apple crumble and it works beautifully
