This was so good that this was the only piece left for a picture! A teeny lonesome square.
(It was taken care of shortly after the picture though)
I have made this twice in the last 3 weeks. Need I say more?
It’s similar to my Irish Apple Cake, just a little sweeter with the glaze.
I also doubled the recipe when we had a lot of company with great results.
FRESH APPLE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice

1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups finely chopped apples (I like granny smith for baking)

In a large bowl, mix the eggs with a hand mixer until light in color and foamy.

Stir in the flour mixture with a spoon until well mixed.
Stir in the apples and nuts (if using).
Spread batter in a greased 8 inch round or square pan.

While hot, prepare glaze.

Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with
HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding
experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated!
Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem along with your website in internet

excellent writing due to this problem.
