Is it a cake? Is it a pie? Come learn something new and unique to celebrate St. Patrick's Day this 2025! While we love Irish Soda Bread and corned beef, we thought we would bring something you may not have heard of this St. Patrick's Day. Irish Apple Cake is a traditional dessert in Ireland and is a cross between a cake and a pie. Think soft, moist, cake texture with a crispy outer layer and packed with apples that hold their shape and retain some crunch with a perfect hint of sweetness that provides a fantastic texture contrast! Topped with a custard sauce, this cake will definitely become a crowd-pleaser you're sure to bake again.
Originally baked in a bastibleb or steamed in pots beside an open fire we have adapted the recipe for baking in a home oven and using our delicious stone-milled flours. This recipe would typically use Crab apples which are in abundance in Ireland and play a big role in Irish and Celtic mythology - a sacred symbol of immortality, knowledge and the connection between mortal and other realms beyond the physical. Come learn how to make this distinctive cake and honor a lovely Irish tradition from afar!
Things to look forward to:
- Have an opportunity to work with our own fresh flours, stone-milled right here at Barton Springs Mill
- Learn how to make traditional Irish Apple Cake at home
- Tour the mill with our Education Director, Frida Silva-Carreira
- Purchase BSM products at an exclusive 15% discount
BYOB is fine by us for participants 21+ 🥂
About your instructor & BSM Education Center Co-Director, Nadia Rodriguez:
I got my culinary degree in 2018 but have been working in the culinary industry for 10 years now, with both savory and pastry experience. My passion for cooking started early with my grandmother, and I believe cooking is sharing love. I adore Italian, Asian and Latin cuisines. I love to curate flavors for individuals and make something unique and one of a kind. I love sharing the knowledge I have gained and showing how amazing ingredients such as Barton Springs Mill flour and the attitude you bring toward those ingredients can truly transform food into an experience. My ethos is to have fun, do it with love, and you can't go wrong. :)
