PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Pineapple upside down cake in Portmeirion for AGA

Although upside-down cakes were documented in the late 1800s, the origins of this classic cake go back to America, around the 1920s, when canned pineapple gained popularity. This version adds desiccated coconut for extra texture and the zest of a lime to complement the pineapple.

Honey loaf cake

Honey cake on AGA Cookshop wooden board

A delicious loaf cake made with honey instead of sugar.  The flavour varies dependent upon the type of runny honey you use, dark honey gives a deeper flavour.  When the cake comes out of the oven it is treated to a honey syrup! With thanks to Dawn Roads for the delicious recipe.
