Quick Apple and Almond Cake

Also this weekend realised it had been such a busy week, I had not baked any cake !! Such a crime for the true domestic goddess which I aspire to be . Plenty of apples in the fruit bowl .

So a very very quick cake that could cook in just 15 minutes, think this would actually make a very good breakfast cake if you are into sweet things.

Juicy chunks of apple , scented cinnamon , the almonds mean this cake gets a nice crispy top .
