I know, quince, apple and golden syrup again!
Well, I had plenty of stewed maple quince and apple, and decided to put a spin on one of my favourite cakes. Two, actually – it’s a hybrid of my favourite apple and cinnamon teacake, and a ginger cake similar to this one. But with GOLDEN SYRUP CREAM CHEESE FROSTING BECAUSE #YOLO
Crispy edges.
FROSTING

PinDescription
An autumn favourite, full of all the deliciousness of the season.
Scale
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
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix a couple of times until starting to come together, then add milk and stewed quince/apple.
- Mix until all is incorporated, but don’t overmix.
- Grease and flour your tin (I think mine is a 9-inch springform) and add the batter.
- Bake in a moderate oven about 45 minutes, but check after 35.
- Leave cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack.
- Frost when cool.
Frosting
- Mix golden syrup, cream cheese, and icing mixture. Feel free to up the golden syrup quotient. Add a teaspoon of milk at a time until it is the consistency you want. I like it quite thick.

This looks and sound AHmazing! Snap! I made an apple and carrot cake with cream cheese icing for my daughters birthday on the weekend. No where near as decadent as your one though.
It’s just a regular apple cake with cream cheese icing with some quince thrown in – nothing fancy here!
Too lush for words x
You can have some!
Apple AND Quince you can’t go wrong. Love the twist on the classic cream cheese icing. Ottolenghi has a maple syrup and brown sugar cream cheese icing which is awesome as well.
Oh I made a similar one last year for the little one’s birthday. She may or may not have had a maple brown sugar pound cake and it was mostly for me 😉
This just looks totally ace. It reminds me of that one time I made treacle icing. I really need to do it again. Screen lickingly good!
jesus, yes you do! That would be sooooo good.
