{Baking @ home} ~ Apple Cake in Autumn

One of the stars of a tea I had recently with

a newer friend was

an Apple Cake that I made for the first time last year. 

This cake has been shared with two familes and

Mr. Husband and I are going to enjoy the rest of it

in this last week before the Nativity Fast!

I made it for my friend's birthday and was just 

tickled that she had some of it on her actual birthday.

It's a lovely cake. 

A Lovely Apple Cake {that adults and kids alike love!}

I had some wonderful
Apple Cake last weekend.

So this weekend I made
apple cake for a dinner that Mr. Husband and I went
to on Sunday night.

I used Winesap apples.

And Mat. Emily's family recipe for apple cake.

I used a tube pan to bake the cake,
greasing the pan well first,
layering the cake in the middle with half of the
cinnamon and sugar topping.

Lots of topping and lots of apples!
Note that the batter will be thick and that this is as
it should be! :)

It was a super cute cake and baked up well!

 

It was quite a success ~
the three kids at the dinner we were at
clambered around the table for it!
It was lovely to share
this apple cake with friends
over a nice hot cup of tea!
