I’m very interested in making your grandmother’s Apple Cake recipe. My only problem is with the measurements being listed as European ! I do wish you'd list them in “traditional American measurements,” too! It’s daunting to try and look up all of the measurements, and then have to convert them to traditional American measurements! I hope you consider this for those of us who’d like to make and enjoy your grandmother’s special cake! Thank You , Debbe’Baker

Hi Debbe,
I think you may have me confused with another blogger? I post all my recipes in both cups and grams to suit bakers all over the world. But also, I don't have an apple cake recipe on the site, I think you may be thinking of someone else.
In any case, I hope you find the recipe you are looking for.
Happy baking!

Oh my goodness this curd is incredible! It tastes just like pumpkin pie and was the easiest curd I've made yet. I'm going to pair it with pumpkin cupcakes and will need to use all my self-control to not eat it all before then 😛

Thanks Ashley, I'm so glad you like it! That is exactly what I did, I put some of it inside my Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes and it worked like a dream! https://bonnibakery.com/pumpkin-spice-cupcakes/

Hello!
Thank you for the recipe. I’m just curious why can’t you use pumpkin pie filling and opt out for cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg?
Jules
Hi James, thank you for your question. Pumpkin pie filling contains a lot of sugar, and the sugar quantity varies from brand to brand, so it's hard to control and know how much sugar to add. You could, in theory, use pumpkin pie filling if you wanted, but you'll need to taste test along the way and decide how much sugar you want to add to get the desired sweetness, as the pie filling is already very sweet. Hope this helps!

How long will this stay good? I haven't made it yet, but would like to use it in a tartlett in 4 days.
