Here's the recipe for the Dorset Apple Cake, made in a deep, round 7-inch pan. Unfortunately, it's all in metric, but the next time I make it, I'll post it with my other recipes, and measure everything I weigh.

Cream together 225g each of butter and castor sugar (fine granulated sugar). Add four large eggs and 250g self-raising flour, alternately. Add 25g cornstarch. Fold into the mixture 225g of chopped Bramley Apples. I used what I had on hand which were Spartan apples, peeled and chopped. Pour into the greased cake tin. Cut segments from an unpeeled apple and soak in lemon juice. Arrange in a circle round the top of the cake and dust with soft brown sugar to make a crusty glaze. Bake in 170C. (between 325F and 350F.) preheated oven for about an hour and a quarter. Let cool a few minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
