SOUR CREAM APPLE CAKE

18 Comments

I made this cake to take with us this week to the Eisteddfod. We took a picnic lunch so cake is always a necessary addition.

Even though it looked quite plain, this cake is lovely and moist and full of flavour.

BAKED POTATOES REVISITED

10 Comments

On Friday night we had friends over for our daughters 10th birthday.

We had baked potatoes with bolognaise sauce, coleslaw, grated cheese and sour cream.

They were delicious and everyone really enjoyed them, and they were so easy.

We had cooked potatoes and sauce left, which is great for the next day.

On Saturday night we had some more visitors and we were just going to have baked potatoes again but my oldest daughter suggested we should turn the left overs into a baked potato casserole.

This was a great idea.

We sliced up the potatoes and layered it with the bolognaise. We covered the whole lot with grated cheese and baked it in a moderate oven for about an hour.

We served it again with the coleslaw and sour cream and was it delicious.
