Liz’s Cornish Apple Cake
Enjoy this wonderful bake from Liz Down
This Cornish apple cake is a favourite from Liz Down, one of our Farming Families. She says “The 50 year-old apple tree in the garden at Orchard Cottage produces a generous harvest of beautiful juicy apples every Autumn, and after a warm Summer, this year is no exception. I’ve been baking this family favourite for decades – it tastes amazing served warm with a dollop of Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream.”
