Buñuelos de Viento (Wind Fritters) vs Traditional Dorset Apple Cake

Both desserts rely on butter, sugar, eggs and cinnamon, but use them very differently. The Buñuelos de Viento begin with a dough of water, butter and flour cooked in the pan, beaten with four eggs and a touch of lemon zest, then fried until they puff into golden, hollow, airy fritters; cinnamon appears only in the sugar coating. The Dorset Apple Cake creams butter and sugar, folds cinnamon into the batter and adds chunks of tart cooking apple with lemon zest before baking. The result is a moist, springy cake with a crunchy demerara crust, sturdier and fruit-forward beside the fritters' delicate lightness.
