One of the best reasons to visit Dorset on your staycation is to sample the local delicacy that is the Dorset Apple Cake recipe.  Our chef has kindly agreed to share his coveted recipe with us, and honestly, it’s amazing served freshly from the oven with a dollop of good quality clotted cream from a local farm!  In fact, this recipe is SO good, you can often find this cake being sold in our café!

Makes one cake that serves between 8 – 12 (depending on how big a slice you cut!).  Cooking time 40 – 45 minutes.

1. Mix the flour, butter, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
3. Line one large cake tin and pour in the batter. Sprinkle the top with a little Demerara sugar.
4. Cook at about 160 degrees Celsius for 40-45 minutes, then check by placing a skewer in the middle to see if it comes out dry.
5. Serve with a large dollop of clotted cream!

This recipe is a great one to bake with the kids or grandkids this summer during the holidays.  Get them all involved and make sure to show us your pics of them enjoying a slice on your social media!  Tag us #DucksFarmShopRecipes over on Facebook and Instagram!
