adam and eve would've left eden a whole lot sooner if they'd tasted this instead of the humble apple! you can have this whipped up in no time...make the batter a couple of hours ahead and pop it into the oven when the pork comes out serve it wth cream poured around it and douse it with a good amount of calvados. light a match and get ready to moan soften: 4oz of butter, beat 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon into it. spread this mix on the bottom of a buttered 9 inch cake pan (or six individual ramekins) peel: a granny smith apple, cut into quarters, remove the core then cut each quarter into 4-6 wedges. lay these on top of the toffee paste in the cake pan melt: 4oz butter, stir in 1 cup superfine/castor sugar, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups slef raising flour and 1 dash of cream. beat to a batter consistency pour: batter over toffee and apples bake: in a pre heated (400f / 180c) oven for 30 minutes. cake is done when it is frim in the centre and springs to the touch invert: cake carefully as hot toffee sauce is about to run down the sides pour: calvados on top and set alight | ||||
