Hello. Last night I baked Bipartisan Cake (Apple Crumb Cake) from Baked in American by the David’s
owners of Outsider Tart (London). Having already baked a several things from the book I won’t be
sharing the recipe with you, but it’s yummy to look at!
I didn't just choose the Bipartisan Cake (pg 126) because of
the apples (of course I did). I choose it because the David’s conceived the
cake the week Barack Obama first took office 4 years ago. Obama has a thing for
caramel apple cake apparently? It also evolved from an Alaskan recipe, where
Sarah Palin is from. Hence why the cake is called Bipartisan (Bipartisanship involves trying to find common
ground) Cake. Now that
Obama has just had another victory I thought I’d make it and share it with
friends, but unfortunately not with you…. unless you have the book. Sorry, I am
mean like that.

The cake is has a
caramel apple filling mixed in a cinnamony cake batter, topped with lots of
crumbs mixed with pecans (or walnuts your choice). I like this cake, it’s
perfect with a cup of coffee or tea which ever your preference is! It also
works as a dessert cake: top it with ice cream or cream (again depending on
taste or culture preference), caramel drizzle or a simple glaze.
