Apple dapple cake
Instructions:
- Don’t you just love the taste of brown sugar? I mean, all on its
own, I just love brown sugar. Whenever I am baking with it, I can’t help
but get a pinch out for myself. Lucky is the day when I find a few
precious lumps within the bag.
The wonderful thing about this cake (and Lord, I do mean
wonderful) is that the resulting flavor is a perfect blend of fresh apples
and buttery brown sugar. With the special sauce poured over the cake
and allowed to soak in before removing the cake from the pan, it is by
far the moistest cake I’ve ever baked.
