We can officially say it's autumn, and well, to be honest we are half way there to winter. But fret not, but there is still something here to brighten our days: it is still blackberry season!

We are super lucky in the UK, where I currently live, to have sooooo many blackberry bushes near us. I don’t even have to bring snacks with us on walks, the kids just eat all the blackberries from the bushes. Last week we picked a few up and I decided to remake this blackberry and apple cake!

This recipe required a few trials and errors to get to the perfect moistness and taste but this final version got the seal of approval from the whole family.
