Today, Megan is coming over to watch Good Omens - I am tremendously excited about it - and in preparation, I am making an apple cake.
What I like about this apple cake is...well. A lot of time, you make something that says it's an apple cake and what the person designing the recipe means is "a lightly spice cake that you might possibly be able to spot a chunk of apple in". Not this cake. This cake is all "You wanted apples? How many apples do you think we can fit in a single loaf pan? How about you chop up three entire apples to go in the cake and then slice another to put on top?" There's a batter but that's really only so that a) you can still call it a cake and b) there's something to hold the apples together. It is 80% apple.
It is a Scumble Cake.* Good Omens is not Discworld, but Scumble Cake still feels appropriate.
*I mean, the cake is non-alcoholic but it is made from apples. Well...mainly apples.
