Applecake
21.11.2018
Last week I made this simple and moist cake with bits of apple baked into it. It’s great to have on hand for unexpected guests, but it’s even better for counteracting a ‘hangry’ state (a state of anger caused by lack of food) when you feel one coming on ; ) And given your reactions on social media, it’s clear you really, really wanted the recipe… So, here you go! I’ve fine-tuned it a bit and there you go. Enjoy! And, will you let me know what you think?

Method
Preheat the oven to 180C. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, stir well and add the remainder of the ingredients. Grease the baking tin with a bit of oil or line in with parchment. Transfer the cake batter to the baking tin. Bake in a preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to cool and enjoy! It’s delicious served with nut butter.
