A Good Home

A cup of tea and a slice of Lady Cynthia cake

Thanks to Marilyn at Simply Splendid Victorian Afternoon Teas for this recipe for a wonderful apple cake. It’s been enjoyed by many over the past year.

And what a privilege to have a cake named for me.

Enjoy!

  1. If I had the rum and treacle I would be making this cake right now. How interesting to have a cake with 3 different textures; cake base, fruit middle and pudding-like top. I hope the Lady Cynthia cake becomes a fixture at all good tea parties. πŸ˜‰

  2. Great time for an apple cake. I am baking tomorrow, already bought some apples.
    I nominate you for a One Lovely blog award. The rules you can find in my latest post. Thank you for sharing all the good things! πŸ™‚

  3. Thank you very kindly. How lovely.

    The only problem is that I don’t accept awards. Yikes, I’m sorry. BUT I am honoured by your even thinking of me.

    My best, and thanks again,
    Cynthia.

  4. MMmmmmm – now that looks yummy! So yummy, I think I’d rather just eat it then bake it! πŸ™‚ And now you’re famous – in another way – with a cake named after you!

      It is a very yummy cake.
      All my life I dreamed of having a cake named for me…. okay, I’m kidding. all my life I was haunted by the Christmas cake I burned when I was an adolescent. so now this Lady Cynthia Cake makes me grin and makes up for my earlier failures.
