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 .

Wow! I wish I could grab a slice… My favorite ingredients in a cake! 🙂
Quick, easy, and fantastically edible – sounds like just my kind of recipe. Yep, I think that’s going to have to go on my ‘must make VERY soon’ list!
I was looking for an Apple recipe this morning – and ended up making some cookies…now just found this typical! Looks yummy, mind you I dodn’t have any almonds so probably couldn’t have made it anyway 🙂
Oooooh yummy! I made it last night (birthday cake) very tasty indeedy, especially served warm with vanilla ice-cream (or custard) 🙂
You didn’t say what to do with the cinnamon so I just chucked it in with the flour, I guess it could go in the pan with apples instead?
This my family’s treasured apple cake recipe from my grandma:
