Marguerite Patten Apple Cake -----Original Message----- From: Pamela Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 9:36 AM To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com Subject: American apple cake Hi. Collected recipe cards from Marguerite Patten in 60s. One recipe cannot find and forgotten ingredients after 50 years. American Apple cake. It had grated cheese in dough must u 're with sliced apples, honey and cinnamon on top?. Can you help please? Pamela Hi Pamela, I cannot find any mention at all of a Marguerite Patten recipe called "American" Apple Cake. However, I did find three "apple cake" recipes by her, but none of them has honey. The first two are traditional cakes, with flour in the batter, but neither of them has cheese in the batter and the first one has no cinnamon topping. The third one does have cheese in the batter, but it is not a tradition flour batter. It's more like a pudding or custard. It does have a cinnamon and apple topping, but it does not have any honey. See the recipes here: Vintage Recipe Cards Baking Making and Crafting Oxford Times These are all that I can find from Marguerite Patten. I'll post this for reader input. Phaed Thank you Phaedrus. It sounds like third recipe. I know you put cheese in with flour and margarine, and Madeline a scone mix. Then sliced apples on top with sugar and melted butter. Much appreciated, Pamela ------------------------------------------------ From: gwen Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2015 1:52 PM To: Phaedrus Subject: "American Apple Cake" Hello again, I hope this email finds you in good health and spirits.
