But for starters here's another recipe. We picked the blackberries & apples for this one in the bush as we drove around the Snowy River area near Tumut.
Blackberry & Apple Cake
Ingredients
- 1 large Apple
- a large handful of blackberries
- 1 tablespoon of raw sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 125g of softened butter
- 1 cup of caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups of SR Flour plus a tablespoon extra
- 1 cup of milk
Directions
- start your fire at least an hour before to build up your hot coals
- cream the butter & caster sugar in a bowl
- add the eggs & beat well
- add the flour & milk & stir until you have a thick batter
- add in 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon & stir
- wash your blackberries in cool running water before use
- coat your blackberries in the extra tablespoon of flour, this helps them not sink to the bottom of the cake while it cooks
- add the blackberries to the cake batter & gently stir through the mix
- pour into a cake tin lined with 2 layers of baking paper
- pour the batter into the pan & spread out evenly
- peel & then cut your Apple into thin 2mm slices
- arrange over the top of the cake in a nice pattern
- sprinkle with the raw sugar & remaining 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon
- preheat your camp oven over the fire for 5 minutes
- place the cake in the oven on a trivet
- place 1 shovel of coals under the oven & 1 on top
- cook cake for 20 minutes
- open oven & check how the cake is going, add more heat if necessary
- cook for another 15-20 minutes
- use a skewer to check when cake is cooked, the skewer should come out clean
- once cooked allow the cake to rest for 5 minutes & then remove from the cake pan & allow to cool
We cut our first slice when it was still just warm. YUM!!
