I admit, I have not been in the baking/sweets mood lately. I know, I must be sick, right? Truth is, I haven't been sick..I just didn't have anyone around that would eat it. I usually have a bite of whatever I bake, and then ship it off to work with NZ to share with the other growing boys he works with. I am sure their waistlines thank me.
With life back to normal ( read: NZ is home), I have gotten back into reading the baking blogs I used to frequent. I ran across this apple based cake on surprise, surprise, Bakerella's blog. I did alter the recipe a bit. Instead of chopped dates ( I don't like dates), I used raisins ( I love raisins). Instead of walnuts ( I'm allergic), I used chopped pecans. Other than that, I follwed her recipe 95% and it was another success.
As NZ said, " This $h!t's good!"
..Ummmm honey, "this $h!t", is called Apple Cake. Glad you like it.
Here's a link to Bakerella's Easy Apple Cake Recipe. Bake as directed. Or not.
If you don't, don't come blaming me for your cake wreck.
I took Bakerella's suggestion and made a 1/2 batch of the brown sugar syrup, and she's right, it's plenty to drench the cake with.
Poke holes in your baked cake. She uses a skewer stick, I used a knife. Either way works.
Drench it, baby!
