Bob's Apple Cake

Bob's recipe for the AMAZING apple cake he made at Christmas comes from Martha Day's Complete Baking London, Anness Publishing: 2000. p. 238

He told me It's an easy recipe but the trick is that sugar and flour are measured by weight not volume. I made that mistake once and 8 oz of flour dry measure is not 8 oz by weight! Also the recipe calls for a ring mold but it will make 3 - 4x8 loaf pans. A half recipe would probably fill a 8" round cake pan.
