Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Episode 92 ‘It’s More Than A Chicken Breast’.

This week we discuss sexism and racism in various realms of public life, from Niki Savva’s insights into the hot mess of Canberra during the last leadership spill and Donald Trump’s inappropriate crack at four new female congresswomen to the progress made by Tanya Hosch at the AFL and the Adam Goodes doco The Final Quarter which hits our TV screens this week.

Corrie’s ‘Crush of the Week’ is Megan Rapinoe – the co-captain of the US women’s soccer team.

In BSF – Corrie’s been reading Rule Brittania by Daphne du Maurier, Caro reviews Ian Darlin’s compelling documentary The Final Quarter (which airs on Network 10 on Thursday July 18that 7.30pm) and Corrie bakes up an Ottolenghi Apple Cake (see recipe below).

Spiced Apple Cake (from Yotam Ottolenghi's Simple) 

130g unsalted butter

150g caster sugar

3 large eggs, beaten lightly

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

300g plain flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

pinch of salt

200g soured cream

Apple Topping

4 medium-large eating apples (e.g. Cox, Braeburn, Gala), weighing about 600g

70g demerara sugar

1 rounded teaspoon mixed spice

Preheat the oven to 180C/Fan 160/Gas 4. Grease and line a 23cm cake tin.

Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla a little at a time (plus a little of the flour if it looks as if it’s curdling). Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Fold the flour mixture in a bit at time, alternating with spoonfuls of the soured cream. Spoon the batter into the prepared cake tin.

   Peel, core and slice the apples into wedges (about 1.5cm thick). Put in a bowl. Mix the demerara sugar with the mixed spice and add to the apple. Toss gently to coat the pieces of apple.

Gently lay the apple on top of the batter in the tin. It looked like far too much but I went with the recipe and, of course, it was absolutely perfect!

Bake for about an hour - but may need longer.
