Apple Spice Cake With cream cheese Frosting

1 1/2 cups / 225g of cream cheese

3/4 cups/ 115g of light Brown Sugar

1 1/2 cups/ 225g of pastry Flour

2 Large Eggs

1/4 tsp Baking Soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 cups / 75g of butter

1/3 cup / 50g buttermilk

2 Apples

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger

1/2 cup / 75g of pecan nuts ( Optional)

Okay, oven's on at 350 degrees & butter an 8" cake tin ready.

Mix all the dry ingrediants, so your flour, baking soda and powder, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, get some elbow grease into it!!

Now mix in the butter and whisk until nice and soft, in go the eggs, sugar, vanilla flavouring, and buttermilk.

Mix in with the dry mix, so a bit more elbow grease required!!

Pop into the cake tin and then the over for about 30 minutes.

Just time to make your frosting!

8oz cream cheese

4 tbsp of salted butter

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix or whisk all together until smooth and creamy.

Be careful when taking your cake out, and wait until fully cooled to top your cake with your frosty goodness, or it'll all melt on top!!

Enjoy. Please if you make this let me know how you get on!!!

Winter Warmer fruit Crumble

A good one for when you're out of the cold and frosty day!

300g of frozen or fresh fruit (I tend to use apples, Blackcurrents, and raspberries, depending on the season

1 cup / 240g of butter

1 cup / 120g Oatmeal / porridge oats with 1 tsp...(or as spicey as you like!) cinnamon and nutmeg

1cup of soft brown or natural sugar

For fruit

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven, and have a dish or pie tin at the ready!

Step 2

To prep the fruit, if fresh peel and wash , if frozen pop all into a big pan, with one cupful of sugar, and heat until soft, adding some of your cinnemon to the fruit.

Step 3

Combine the oats, flour, sugar and butter together, If you have clean hands get them stuck in and crumble the ingredients together.

Step 4

Layer the fruit at the bottom, and sprinkle the crumble topping on top.

Step 5

Pop in the oven for 20-30 minutes, but keep checking, when browned and smelling lovely, it's ready!!

Helpful Tips

Don't forget, crumble doesn't have any raw eggs in so, it won't take quite as long as a cake, it may sound obvious but leave it too long and it will burn!

Can be served with, cream (of most kinds!), ice cream (particularly preferable in summer, or my personal fave custard or soya custard alpro soya!)
