We got given a whole load of gooseberries, so as an experiment I tried half apples/half gooseberries in my spiced apple cake.
I’ve got a bit of a cold so things don’t taste of much, but Cecilia informs me that it tastes delicious. I think it would work with 100% gooseberries but you might want to add a bit more sugar depending on the ripeness of the gooseberries.
I’ve updated the recipe with some variations on the apple cake – rhubarb, carrots etc. Has anyone else tried any variations? I’ve tried banana but that was very disappointing – very solid and bread like, it tasted ok when toasted and spread with butter.
