and I choose to make use of the granny smith apples I have on hand!
I barely have enough of almond flakes to meet the required half cup
but it was just nice. Instead of three individual spices, I used mixed.

total of 55 mins (but I think 50 mins would have been okay),
and I did test with a toothpick after the initial 40 mins.

Square cake for own consumption, round to give away!
Pretty good results, I might add!

Lovely cake, Emily! The crumbs looks soft and nice! Would love to try this cake one of these days.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so good. I love that you gave part of it away. That's a great way to watch how much you eat.
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to make this one, and after seeing your cake I will have to go back and bake it too as it looks so yummy.
