A special congratulation must go
out to my sister-in-law Katie’s boyfriend Ron on successfully moving down to
Baltimore from Philadelphia and starting his new job today. In the almost
eleven years that I have known Katie, I do not know if I can remember a time
when she was as happy as she is now, and that happiness is directly attributed
to Ron. He is such a wonderful guy, especially with Evie, who idolizes him, and
I am so glad that he now has moved closer to be an even greater part of her
life. This week’s cake is for him.
This week I made an Apple and
Blackberry sponge cake, a novel cake simply for that fact that I had never
eaten blackberries before. Something about their general shape (think grape
that spent one day too many in a leper colony or sunburned raspberry) that
makes me uneasy. Just the same though, I
made the cake, tried the berries, and was happy on both accounts. This cake
called for Flour, Baking Powder, Butter, Eggs, Sugar, Apple Juice, and Apple Chunk,
and the topping (which coincidentally went on the bottom of the pan as this was
an upside down type cake) was made of diced apples, blackberries, and Raw Brown
Sugar. A cake filled with warmth and
happiness … two traits I will always associate with Ron.
My cake:

Check back next week to see what
delectable desert I have in store … only a few more recipes to go before I
reach the goal of 100 cakes in 100weeks. Until then, happy baking!
