What kind of cake do you like the best? My favourites are moist cakes which are not overly sweet, and which contain fruit to give them flavour and texture. Accordingly, this week's Tuesday with Dorie pick by Lynne of Honey Muffin was perfect - she chose Dorie's Double Apple Bundt Cake.
The cake is "double apple" because it contains grated apples and apple butter. Unfortunately, apple butter is not available in Australian supermarkets, so I used apple sauce instead. You could have dusted the cake with icing sugar or glazed it, but I didn't bother with either. I left out the raisins (by accident!), and used walnuts in the cake.
This cake was moist and flavoursome, with a lovely textural crunch from the nuts. It would be perfect to pop into a picnic basket for a lazy Sunday afternoon jaunt. I loved it.

ReplyDeleteYour type of cake is my type of cake too, and this looks like just the thing. Given my love of raisins though, I would hope that I wouldn't forget them ;)

ReplyDeleteHave you ever eaten apple butter?
ReplyDeleteYou can make your own using applesauce.
