Apple and Walnut Cake

June 15, 2009 | Filed Under Apple and Walnut Cake, Baking | 15 Comments

I’ve made this apple cake twice now (and I plan on continuing to make it many more times). The combination of the apples and walnuts are perfect. I found the recipe on Gina’s Gingerbread and loved that the cake is quick and easy to make with so few ingredients.

Gina used banana and pear in making her cake but I decided to stick with the original recipe and used apples and walnuts. The cake smelled delicious while baking and tasted just as good when it came out of the oven.

Hmmm… Maybe next time I’ll make this cake using banana and pears.
