So birthdays normally are associated with a nice rich cake with a creamy or chocolaty frosting. But what kind of a cake can you bake for a person who likes all sweet things as long as they are not too sweet? I had to make one such cake recently and came across a recipe from my long time favourite - Joy of baking website. Click on the headline of this post to go to the original recipe or search for apple cake in www.joyofbaking.com, you'll find the video and the tested recipe of this cake..
I did not make ANY changes to the recipe mentioned..
Couple of pointers for those trying to attempt this recipe..
1 Omit the Apricot glaze if you dont like your desserts very sweet - the cake just has a hint of sweetness
2. toast the walnuts very lightly
3. dont use golden raisins like i did for the recipe, dont quite like the taste..
4. this is a fruit muffin kinda cake, dont overbeat the batter
5. I didnt add lemon juice to cut apples (the cutting takes the longest part of the recipe preperation!)I just kept cutting it and storing it in a tight plastic box and after that stored in the fridge for a bit when i was making the batter for the cake...
6. This is quite moist cake and the peices cant be cut evenly because of the apple chunks..
7. The cake was LOVED by all.......
