    You said it ! So simple so delicious. Probably the tastiest apple cake I have ever made (burp!)

    At 2:14 you said 1 cup of powdered sugar instead of flour. Just FYI! Looks incredible!

      Noticed that, too. Thanks for clarifying. Ive make a french apple cake last season that was amazing...though i reduced the rum a bit. Im actually planning to use the pears from my tree. Im sure the rum will b delicious with the pears, too!

    • @jaycarver4886
      @jaycarver4886 8 місяців тому +5

      ​@@sknap2728Years ago I started making pear pies instead of apple. I'll never go back. Pears are such a lovely flavor but the trick is to select ones that are very firm and crisp or else they will exude too much liquid when baked. I also put in finely grated or chopped fresh ginger root because it really compliments the pear. I'll have to try this cake and make it a pear/ginger. 😊

    • @jaycarver4886
      @jaycarver4886 8 місяців тому +1

      Oh, I would probably skip the rum. I like it in a nice cocktail but not in sweets. Personal preference I guess but I hate any booze flavor in sweets. 😂

    My grandma made this. She had it as a very frugal recipe without eggs, rum and the option to use shortening instead of butter. It’s still delicious. The changes were necessary growing up in a very large farm family in rural Canada during the Great Depression.

    I just made this yesterday following Chef John’s Food Wishes video. The only sub I made was that I used brandy since I had some available. Next time I make it I’ll use your recipe with dark rum. It was still over the top yummy.

    • @cynthiamorton3583
      @cynthiamorton3583 8 місяців тому

      Thanks for the mention of brandy. I don’t care for the flavour of rum, and wondered if brandy would make a good substitute.

    • @jacquisamsung2619
      @jacquisamsung2619 7 місяців тому

      Food Wishes and Preppy Kitchen is almost similar in ingredients - only difference is the method of prep, sugar is less in Food Wishes and little less alcohol by 1 tablespoon - recipes are both almost the same, I will however use Preppy kitchen since the castor sugar where in work is coarse ground and take ages to dissolve in butter whipping

      I have made this recipe several times for my family. It is a new favorite. I have also made this with peaches instead of apples. I have never used rum, but instead, I soak my fruit in apple or peach brandy and combine in the mixture. But I'm sure rum would be great too. I just haven't tried that way yet.

    I'm obsessed. I've been making 1/2 portions of your BEAUTIFUL cake every weekend. I can never stick to a recipe. I added 2 tbs vinegar to the cut apples, cinnamon and reduced the amount of sugar as I have a more European palate.
    I've also made it with pear and toasted almonds, added almond essence and substituted the rum for Cognac, as I think it goes well with pear.
    What makes this such a success of a recipe is how easy it is and the massive fruit content. I think it would be great with a plum and prune mixture during winter... maybe even sprinkle a few bitter chocolate shavings in it, I think that would be great with rum. I'd also like to try this with peaches and candied orange in spring/summer ❤
