I know, quince, apple and golden syrup again!
Well, I had plenty of stewed maple quince and apple, and decided to put a spin on one of my favourite cakes. Two, actually – it’s a hybrid of my favourite apple and cinnamon teacake, and a ginger cake similar to this one. But with GOLDEN SYRUP CREAM CHEESE FROSTING BECAUSE #YOLO
Crispy edges.
FROSTING

Description
An autumn favourite, full of all the deliciousness of the season.
Ingredients
- 125g butter, softened
- 3/4 cups brown sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1.5 cups plain flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup stewed quince and apple
- 1/4 cup golden syrup
- 250g cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups icing mixture
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix a couple of times until starting to come together, then add milk and stewed quince/apple.
- Mix until all is incorporated, but don’t overmix.
- Grease and flour your tin (I think mine is a 9-inch springform) and add the batter.
- Bake in a moderate oven about 45 minutes, but check after 35.
- Leave cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack.
- Frost when cool.
Frosting
- Mix golden syrup, cream cheese, and icing mixture. Feel free to up the golden syrup quotient. Add a teaspoon of milk at a time until it is the consistency you want. I like it quite thick.

This looks and sound AHmazing! Snap! I made an apple and carrot cake with cream cheese icing for my daughters birthday on the weekend. No where near as decadent as your one though.
Veggie Mama says
It’s just a regular apple cake with cream cheese icing with some quince thrown in – nothing fancy here!
Bitch says
What a bitch! Didn’t your mother teach you not to put others down?
For your information the recipe you said was nothing special… is very special in my eyes.
Better than any of the shit on your site.
Doesn’t that make you feel so good to know.
You know what’s really great? You can reply to me and I won’t receive your reply because I’ve just bought a new phone and this is the last time I’m using this old one. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah I’m even nastier than you. ?

Apple AND Quince you can’t go wrong. Love the twist on the classic cream cheese icing. Ottolenghi has a maple syrup and brown sugar cream cheese icing which is awesome as well.
Veggie Mama says
Oh I made a similar one last year for the little one’s birthday. She may or may not have had a maple brown sugar pound cake and it was mostly for me 😉
