Cake For My Favorite Doc
Decorating By TheBakingNurse Updated 28 Feb 2011 , 2:01am by TheBakingNurse
Hey everyone! My favorite doctor is leaving our area after 11 years. I am making him a cake but really so not know where to start? Sculpted fondant cake? Something decadent and fancy? Idk? Lol please help!
Forgot to add that he is an ob and medical surgical doctor. He is leaving his practice to teach in Texas!
Not sure about your skill level but how about something like a prescription pad with "good-bye we'll miss you" and orders to "spread the word/teach" or something like that.... Or you could do something where the stethescope is being traded in for a pointer (or something that symbolizes teaching.) Obviously my ideas are not flushed out, but hopefully it will get your creative juices flowing...
This recipe is over 50 years old.
Ingredients
* 5 oz Tomor (block) or other hard margerine eg Stork
* 3 oz caster sugar
* 1 large egg
* 7 oz self raising flour
* pinch of salt
* FILLING
* 1 large cooking apple.peeled. cored and sliced eg Bramley
* 1 tspn lemon juice
* 2 tbs caster sugar
* 2 tbs Apricot jam (warmed) to glaze
Method
* PRE-HEAT OVEN TO 160 DEGREES
1. Cream margerine and sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in egg and fold in sieved flour and pinch of salt.
3. Put mixture into a greased 20cm/8inch loose bottomed cake tin.
4. Arrange apple slices on top of mixture, sprinkle with lemon juice and sugar and brush with warmed apricot jam.
5. Bake in the middle of the oven for approximately 1 hour, or until skewer inserted comes out clean.

Tips
* Apricots, cherries, gooseberries or plums can be used instead of apple.
