Very nice indeed - we definitely need more cake recipes here. Good photo too.

Go a bit confused by the recipe steps... shouldn't there be a step where the flour is mixed into the egg/butter mix?

that's the step. of stir in flour

btw, obvious typo - that's baking powder, not backing powder

I only do this with fresh in-season-taste-proven-ripe peaches.

Sorry - because the step about peeling apples comes in-between it didn't quite associate. Its just to do with the protocols & conventions of recipe writing.

How wonderful to have that original. You have German ancestry?

Nice looking cake, I'm not really a backer, pun intended, I may make this? Or get my daughter to.
