Orange Gingerbread
Slabs of this were a favorite. Very nice when thickly buttered, with a cup of tea. I used to make my own candied peel. I still have two or three pieces in a jar somewhere.

APPLE CAKEApple cake with mead (Old Family recipe) Category: cakes Nb persons: 0 270 gr flour...
This cake is best not cut into until the following day so that the crust can soften and the crumb firm up; the slices crumble up when it is fresh and warm. It will keep for a week or more in an airtight cake tin or wrapped in foil.
If you can manage that last instruction I salute you!
Enjoy Flora
