Traditional Guernsey Gâche Melée
Gâche melée is a heavy and dense Guernsey cake that is traditionally prepared with a combination of apples, flour, sugar, milk, salt, and suet (instead of butter).
When baked, it is recommended to serve the cake cut into squares, and it should ideally be accompanied by a dollop of Guernsey cream or a scoop of ice cream on the side.
