West Country Apple Cake
The origin of the apple cake is unclear, as it has been attributed to both Dorset and Somerset. One thing is clear, however – the recipe is a West Country classic.
Scrumptiously moist, the cake uses two of the West Country’s most famous products, apples and cider, to create a dessert that goes down incredibly well with a side of double cream.
