Print recipe
Ingredients
- 125g butter, softened
- 3/4 cups brown sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1.5 cups plain flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup stewed quince and apple
- 1/4 cup golden syrup
- 250g cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups icing mixture
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 180C. | |
| Step 2 | |
| In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix a couple of times until starting to come together, then add milk and stewed quince/apple. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Mix until all is incorporated, but don't overmix. | |
| Step 6 | |
| Grease and flour your tin (I think mine is a 9-inch springform) and add the batter. | |
| Step 7 | |
| Bake in a moderate oven about 45 minutes, but check after 35. | |
| Step 8 | |
| For frosting, mix golden syrup, cream cheese, and icing mixture. Feel free to up the golden syrup quotient. Add a teaspoon of water at a time until it is the consistency you want. I like it quite thick. | |
| Step 9 | |
| Leave cake to cool for a few minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack. Frost when cool | |
