You might have seen this apple cake on this blog before - I have been making it for years and it’s one of my favourite cakes ever. So easy to make too!

I made another cake yesterday (actually two, I always double up the recipe as it goes fast in our house) so I thought I would take some photos and give you the recipe.

I don’t normally start this way, but Emma keeps eating a little bit of an apple and then leaving the remains on the kitchen bench so I gathered a few up over two days and naturally thought of my apple cakes. I got what I could from these apples plus I chopped up a couple more new apples for good measure.

Remember I double the recipe so I needed 4 apples. I will give the recipe for one cake here, you can double it for two cakes if you like.

      That does look delicioius! I’ve been making this difficult apple cake involving lots of mayo (I use Miracle Whip) that’s creamy but SUCH a hassle to make! I may have to try your more simple version!

      I’ll be trying your recipe for sure. Love apple cake and love a simple recipe even more. Just have to wait till I have time to get in the kitchen other than the essential meals. Will let you know how it went.
