APPLE- ALMOND CAKE /FRESH APPLE CAKE
There is a good harvest of fresh apples these days. Fruit vendors have plenty of juicy and crunchy red apples with them. These are too sweet and fresh in taste so I couldn’t resist myself to bake a cake with these divine apples. My family likes cakes that contain fresh fruits, their juice, and some crunchy nuts.
This cake looked awesome when baked. The whole house was filled with the divine aroma of freshly baked cake; the taste was just unexplained. There were fresh apples and almonds in each bite, and yes! I also added some halves of rocher Ferrero chocolate. This addition was absolutely a bonus in perspective of taste and texture. This cake was a slow bake at 170 degrees that took nearly an hour and came out perfectly!
