Apple Cake with Fresh Apples and Walnuts
When I made this Fresh Apple Cake the aroma filled the house. The cake is a moist and filling cake. My elder one did not want to wait for the cake to cool down.
Fresh Apple Cake
Apple cakes are popular dessert and the main ingredient being apples.
The fruit is sliced then added to the batter. Traditionally spices like nutmeg and dalchini/cinnamon are used. Add nuts like almonds or walnuts and you have a yummy cake that is simple to make yet satisfying.
There are 3 more cakes I want to try out hopefully as long as I am on leave I will be able to make them.
Apples and applesauce are used in making cakes as they help their water-retention helps in making a moist cake.
The other apple cake I have made are Apple Upside Down Cake, Eggless Applesauce Chocolate Cake. But use apples to make Carrot, Apple and Orange Smoothie, Easy Baked Apples, Plum and Apple Cobbler, Apple Pie.
This cake is adapted from here.

I doubled the recipe as I had 4 large apples to use up. But I had to add 30 minutes to the baking time, made it in a 9x13 baking dish. Moist and perfect. Also I didn’t have walnuts so I used the pecans I had and it was good.
ArchanaPotdar says
Aww! Thanks, Cindy for trying the recipe! Thank you for the feedback too. I am glad.
