Original Recipe
Cynhwysion:
400g gwsberis wedi tynnu eu pennau a'u cynffonau
200g siwgwr gwyn
digon o bastei i blât crwn 25cm
Dull:
Dechreuwch gan rolio hanner y pastei ddigon tenau i orchuddio plat a ellid ei roi yn y poptu. Yna dylid llenwi'r plat gyda'r gwsberis cyn tollti'r siwgwr am ei ben. Yna dylid rolio gweddill y pastei allan i orchuddio'r gwsberis a'r plat. Gan ddefnyddio fforc dylid crimpio corneli'r cacen i'w gau. Yna dylid pigo pen y cacen gyn dafnu ychydig o siwgwr am ei ben. Nawr gellid rhoi'r cacen mewn poptu wedi ei gynhesu i 170°C (325°F/Gas Mark 3) a'i bobi am tua 25 munud nes fod y pastei yn euraidd. Pan yn barod dylid tynnu'r gacen o'r popty a'i adeal i oeri cyn ei dori a'i rannu allan. Mae'r gagen hon yn wych gyda hufen iâ.
English Translation
The
cacen blât (literally 'plate cake') is very much a Welsh speciality and both my mother and grandmother made versions of this cake with just about any and every fruit filling imaginable. Though bilberries, blackberries, apples, gooseberries and
rhubarb were the staples.
Ingredients:
400g
gooseberries, 'topped and tailed' (or enough to fill the pie)
200g granulated sugar
sufficient
pastry for a 25cm diameter pie
Method:
Begin by rolling out half the pastry thin enough to cover the base of an oven-proof plate. Now add the gooseberries before sprinkling the sugar over the top. Roll the remaining pastry out, cover the plate and gooseberries then use a fork to crimp the pastry edges. Trim off any excess pastry, prick the top of the pie with the fork and sprinkle a little sugar over the top then place the cake in an oven pre-heated to 170°C (325°F/Gas Mark 3). Bake for about 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden (but not too dark). Bring out of the oven, allow to cool then cut into sections and serve. This pie goes excellently well with ice cream.
