…with Raspberry and Blackberry Filling and Apple Sauce
Sift and then measure 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, add 1 tablespoon baking powder and set aside.
Cream 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 2 tsps vanilla and 2 eggs. Beat light and fluffy. Measure 1 cup milk. Add alternately to the creamed mixture with about 1/2 cup flour at a time. Stir smooth with each addition. Stir in 5 apples, peeled and coarsely chopped.
Pour into 2 well-greased shallow pans [I used a springform and it was perfect]. Sprinkle the top of one cake with 1/2 cup brown sugar, and a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves [to your taste]. On the top of the second cake, drizzle the juice of a dozen raspberries and a dozen blackberries (pushed through a sieve). Bake at 350 degrees for 35–40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes. Remove springform rims from the cakes and spread applesauce made from about 6 apples, cinnamon, brown sugar and lemon juice over the top of the cake with the raspberry topping. Place the brown sugar cake on top, and sprinkle powdered sugar through a sieve on top. Then serve warm. If you like, you may serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Want a completely simple, cooks-itself soup idea? Roughly chop up lots of garlic, an onion, and 8 bell peppers, any color but green. Throw them in a large pot with olive oil and saute briefly. Add a good splash of brandy or madeira, and cover them all with chicken broth, then sprinkle on dried thyme, or fresh thyme leaves if you have them (not the stems, though). Simmer forever, at least an hour but as long as you like. Whizz with a hand-held blender (one of the most useful ktichen tools in my opinion, since you don’t have to cool the soup as you would before putting it through a regular blender) and pour into another pot through a strainer to get the little pepper skin bits out. Add as much cream as you like and check the seasonings, then simmer till you want to eat it. Divine, and so extremely good for you with all those peppers.
