Selmar's Grandmother's Apple Cake! (Patreon)

Thank you all for reaching our target of $9000!!! We are so excited, and Selmar is hard at work planning the automatic watering system - I think he's relishing the challenge. It will be a huge relief not to see my mother watering for absolutely hours every day in summer! The progress on the vegetable garden seems incredibly fast now - it's very uplifting and gives me renewed energy to finish every corner of this chateau!

Here's a little gift for you from us all - it's the first of our 'Recipes from the Chateau!'

I have asked Selmar to give you his Grandmother's Apple Cake recipe, which was given to him by his mother. She made this for him for every single one of his birthdays! He has two brother, and whenever one of them was celebrating his birthday, they'd be told to wait in the their bedroom whilst the rest of the family decorated the living room for them! Then , after waiting excitedly, they'd finally be called down to the party room, where everyone would be waiting with this delicious cake. He couldn't bear to celebrate his birthday at Lalande without it, so made it himself for the first time, and it was a Huge Success!!!

Let me know if you try it at home and if it works!
