Apple Cinnamon White Cake

I'm pleased to be the first to review this recipe, because it is a winner. One chopped apple will reward you with a moist cake loaded with cinnamon, brown sugar and sweet apple flavors. Next time, I will bake in an 8"x4" pan, as I would have liked a little taller slice, but that's purely aesthetics, nothing to do with taste. Jinglebells, thanks for sharing your recipe. This one's going into my Favorites folder.

Good, not great. Not quite as moist as I expected, and both flavors of apple and cinnamon were very mild. Also, this definitely needed the 1/4 tsp. of salt I added that was glaringly absent in the ingredients list. In addition, this needed closer to an hour to bake thoroughly, so I'd call the instruction to bake 30-40 minutes way off. I think this would benefit with the addition of one more apple and 2 T. of vegetable oil.

Wow. This is a winner! I made 2 and so glad I did. I'm taking one to a friend and keeping one for us :)! I used the pink lady apples and the cake is very apple-y and delicious! I added a full teaspoon salt to the batter which really helped to intensify the flavors, and it took 1 hour in my oven. For those who had problems with this, remember all ovens are different and cook times will vary. I recommend setting for 40 minutes and checking. If it is at all jiggly or squishy on top you want to keep baking. Add another 5 or 10 minutes and keep checking until top is firm-ish. For those who found it dry be sure you are measuring your flour properly. Spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. You might be packing it too much. This cake would be hard to dry out with all the delicious apple in it! Thanks for a great recipe Jinglebells! It's a keeper!

This was a very good cake! Made it exactly as directed, only I used a smaller loaf pan. The cake was very moist, and tastes even better the next day. Thanks for the recipe!

Made this last night, exactly per the recipe. Read all the reviews and appreciated the hints. It is very good. Nice texture,spongy consistency and good flavor. Since all my loaf recipes call for an hour of baking, mine was in the oven for an hour and came out exactly like the picture - it raised to the top of the pan and didn't deflate. I chopped up the apples in my Pampered Chef chopper so my apple pieces were very small/tiny. I also folded the flour mixture into the creamed mixture with a spatula (not the electric mixture), added the milk as instructed and folded that in. As best as I can describe its doneness is when the cake part that seeps through the top is tan and has a dry look to it. I also learned that I should have left a margin of cake batter between the brown sugar mix and the cake pan, otherwise, if the brown sugar seeps out on the sides, it turns very hard. Love this recipe.

This is a wonderful recipe. I doubled it and baked it in a 9x13 pan. It baked in 40 minutes. Hubby had 2 pieces while still warm. Might add nuts next time ... and there WILL be a next time!

yummy cake! I reduced the brown sugar to 3 tbsps and the white sugar to 1/2 cup, the cake was sweet enough. Enjoyed by my sons and their friends as a snack. Mine took 45 minutes to bake. *Note to self, bake 5 minutes longer next time, gooey spot under the apples*

This cake was a success and I got a lot of compliments when I made it for company. The only reason for giving 4 stars and not five is that I made a few modifications after reading other reviews, which I believe improved the cake. To begin with I used 2 apples and I grated them instead of chopping them. I increased the cinamon to 2 tsps. and the brown sugar to 1/2 cup and added 1/2 tsp of salt. I used a 9x5 inch loaf pan and layered like this - spread half the batter then topped with half the brown sugar cinnamon mixture, swirled it into the batter and then added a layer of half the apples and repeated this.

Absolutely delicious and takes virtually no time at all to put together - not to mention it's very pretty when it comes out of the oven. I did add two apples vs. one and opted for buttermilk vs. milk. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing...except maybe for the cooking time. There's no way this would bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes and be cooked all the way through. I baked mine for 50-55 minutes and it came out moist, nicely spiced and bursting with apples! This is a great base for add-in's such as raisins or walnuts but it's perfectly fine all by itself and goes great with a nice cup of tea! Thanks for a great recipe!

Took a little longer than it said but well worth the wait. Middle of August and so ready to bring in Fall. The perfect cake to do just that!

I baked for a full 40 minutes, it looked great and my toothpick came out clean, but 10 minutes later, the cake deflated and it was completely raw inside!

This is a great recipe. I used buttermilk instead of milk for a richer flavor. Also added some chopped walnuts according to taste.

Actually, my hubby made this cake, following the directions exactly. It was one of the most amazing cakes ever! Moist and very Cinnamon-y. Everyone raved about it. It's a keeper for sure! Lucky Me having someone to bake this cinnamon delight or me!

I love this cake. The first time I made it exactly as written. It's a not-to-sweet, almost-pound-not-quite-coffee cake. The apple makes an interesting addition. My husband loved it, too. The second time, I made it with peaches (my personal favorite). I used frozen peaches that had been mostly thawed but otherwise didn't change the brown sugar/cinnamon mix. I've also made it with no fruit filling/topping so I could top it with fresh strawberries. Every way I've made this cake, it has been a winner.

This recipe is great! BUT it does need a few modifications.. first of all white sugar can be cut by half, and it needs 2 apples instead of 1.. one apple just just isn't enough.. with two it's so moist! I also bake mine for about 50 minutes!

I soaked the apples with the brown sugar and cinnamon for 15 mims before layering which made the apples taste more "cinnamony". Turned out yummy!

I have this apple cake in the oven right now! It is my third time making it and it was instant favorite from the first. I did not change a thing (and I often do, lol). The only hint I have is.. when i ran a toothpick through to swirl the cinnamon/sugar the first time, it dragged the apple chunks around and some parts of the cake came out super moist (my husbands favorite part, not mine). So, I swirl the cin/sugar abd then add the apples abd pat down now. This cake tastes petfect!

I made this exactly as directed and had to bake it for 47 minutes. I looked at it at 30 minutes and I did not even bother to test it. At 40 minutes a toothpick came out with batter on it. It was very easy to make but I only gave it four stars since I found it a little dry. That could be from 47 minutes in the oven or that fact that I used a metal pan instead of glass. I will make this again and might change up the recipe a little. It's a great base recipe because it is simple and quick. I can see adding walnuts, raisins, maybe some apple sauce in the middle with the apple chunks, etc. Overall it's a keeper!

I love this recipe. I make cupcakes out of them. I followed the steps but added more apples to each cupcake and a bite more brown sugar mixture. Came out awesome. I will be leaving a photo. :)

Amazing recipe! The recipe is easy and fast to prepare. I personally don't care for crispy apples in bread, so I sauteed the apples in a little butter, brown sugar and cinnamon for about 5 minutes beforehand. I also added 1 t of cinnamon to the the flour mixture, as I really love cinnamon. I had to bake it about 8 minutes longer than it stated. The apples tasted like yummy chunks of cinnamon applesauce. This is perfect with coffee. I loved it, my husband loved and my daughter loved it! That was a unanimous vote of everyone in the house. This is one that I will be making over and over again. This is one of the best recipes I have ever tried. Thanks Jingelbells!

I doubled the brown sugar mixture and used two apples so I would have plenty of topping and filling. Other than that, followed this recipe exactly. Deliciousness to say the least! Hello fall!

Just finished baking this cake a few hours ago. It exceeded my expectations. I made 2 5X3 loaves in metal non-stick pans. I did need to bake them 45 to 50 minutes. Since, I am always looking for ways eat healthier and to cut calories (hopefully without sacrificing too much taste), I substituted some ingredients. I replaced: half the white sugar with granulated Splenda; one-third of the all-purpose flour with oat flour; half of the butter with light butter; the eggs with EggBeaters; and the whole milk with 1% milk. I also added in a couple of tablespoons of applesauce. The result was a savings of 52 calories per serving. The cake baked up nice and was delicious! Thank you for sharing, Jinglebells! Also, thanks to those who reviewed the recipe. I will try some of your tweaks the next time around.

I tried this recipe and it is amazzzzing!!! I actually doubled this recipe and I make this twice a week. Never regretted trying this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly. I think the cake was good but I did find it wasn't as moist as I would have liked. I think next time I would add 4oz or sour cream or vegetable oil and see if that helps. It did take 47 minutes to bake at 350.

I double the apples.

I've made this twice now. Once as directed and once I added chopped walnuts. Both times it was absolutely delicious and moist. The only thing I would change is baking it for 40 to 45 minutes as it took that long both times I made this.

I loved this recipe, it is so good ! I added about 4 oz. of cream cheese to my recipe, simply because I had some that I needed to use up. I baked this at 325 degrees, it took nearly an hour and a half. Everyone's oven is different, so keep an eye on the time and check it with a flat knife if you don't use toothpicks. For those who want more sugar since this doesn't have alot of sugar in the loaf, I would recommend adding an icing or hard sauce to pour over it, or serve it with ice cream. This recipe was so good, I made another one to give to a family member who is stopping by. This recipe can also be found posted on Facebook by those who tried it and enjoyed it. That is where I originally found this recipe.

I made this loaf Gluten Free. I added chopped pecans sub the white sugar for coconut palm sugar and added more apples. (which I mixed together with the brown sugar and cinnamon) This is the third time baking this loaf and it did take about 50-55 minutes to cook.

Super yummy. Took the advice of many others: add 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp salt to dry ingredients, used two apples instead of 1, mixed cinnamon + brown sugar with apples before adding to cake, cooked 65min. Slightly crunchy outside when baking with nonstick pan, but that actually made it even better.

Delicious recipe! If it helps anyone, the doubled recipe fits nicely in a 12x17 sheet cake pan. I mixed the apples into the batter, spread in the 12x17 pan, sprinkled the brown sugar mixture on top, then swirled & baked for 25-30 minutes. I took it to church & brought home an empty pan. Will definitely be making this again.

Awesome! Would not hesitate to try different fillings. I found the "cake" part of this recipe absolutely, absurdly moist and delicious. Like a lighter, fluffier coffee cake. Thanks, this one is a true gem.

I was out of milk so I substituted sour cream. Otherwise I followed the instructions as written. I had to bake it for 55 minutes, I suppose because of the sour cream. It turned out really good! I will definitely make it again but next time I will add walnuts and maybe raisins because it could use just a little more flavor. Thank you for sharing a good recipe.

I don't often write reviews but I was so humbled by this recipe just needed to add my voice to the choir. I made this recipe just exactly according to the instructions except maybe I used a little more cinnamon than recommended. I noticed there was no salt suggested so I didn't put any in and I certainly didn't notice the absence. I think it took about 55 minutes to be done but, of course, every oven is different and you have to know how to tell if a cake is done. You can't go by the suggested amount of time like a robot. I feel the top of the cake and if it's springy, it's done. I use the toothpick test too but feeling it works for me. Anyway, this was one of the most wonderful cakes I have ever baked and I bake several times a week. LOVE it and will be making it regularly and giving away slices to lucky recipients.

This just wasn't what I had anticipated and I probably won't make it again.

Really good.

Great recipe for a quick sweet treat! I made this per the recipe, but did cut the amount of sugar, per another reviewer's comment (3 tbsps brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar), and it was perfectly sweet enough. I used 1.5 pink lady apples (the only kind of apple I'll eat), and it was nice and apple-y. I did need to bake it about 45 minutes, but it turned out delicious and moist. I had the first slice (for "quality assurance"), and when I served a slice to my boyfriend, I heard a very loud "Mmmmm!" from the living room. I will definitely make this again!

Turned out fantastic. Very easy to make. As stated before abuot 45 mins cooking time. No big deal. I added to this recipe banana slices in with the apples. Was great.

this was a pleasant surprise. great recipe because you have just about every ingredient in the House already

I tried to make it a little healthier by putt6ing in 2 apples/vs. 1 and changing the sugars to splenda.......... it turned out great!

The lack of flavor is so disappointing. Plus, mine baked for 1 hr and 10 minutes (at 30 it was still jiggly). Might be better suited to a 9x9 pan than a loaf pan.

I'll give this 4 stars. The cake part tastes wonderful. I made it just as is and believe it could be a 5-star recipe with more apple and cinnamon mixture in it. I also believe next time I'll put some cinnamon in the batter and also add some fresh-ground nutmeg. I don't think this will be sitting on my counter for long.

Loved it!!! Doubled the cinnamon and put two apples. I had to cook for a full hour if not a little more.

Awesome recipe! I prefer it in a cake pan, rather than a loaf pan. Made this numerous times and it's always amazing!

Made this today, it was yummy! Just one suggestion, add about a 1/2 tsp of salt. Also, mine took 40 minutes to bake.

I made this yesterday and it turned out moist and delicious. I used two apples instead of one, as shown in the video with this recipe. Also, I doubled the amount of cinnamon because I really like cinnamon and 1 teaspoon seemed a bit light. And, as some others have noted, salt is conspicuously absent from the recipe so I added 1/4 teaspoon. Lastly, it did take an hour to cook. 40 minutes was not even close. I set the timer for 40 minutes and then checked it every 5 minutes afterwards just to be sure it didn't overcook. This is sure to become one of my favorite recipes.

Excellent cake, very moist, I grated the apples.

Yummy- replaced 1/2 cup all purpose flour with ground flaxseed meal and added 4 ounces of unsweetened applesauce. Soft, moist and delicious

Absolutely delicious, but the 30-40 min bake time is WAY OFF. After 40 mins, mine LOOKED good but a butter knife into the center came out with raw batter. I have a brand new great oven, very clean, and my bread took about 70 mins to cook.

Excellent! Made it today and used unsalted butter and 2 apples. It actually had a similar taste to apfel kuchen. Mixed the apples with the brown sugar and cinnamon before putting them in the batter as shown in the video. I think it is very important to watch these videos because they show things that aren't specifically written in the recipe. I will definitely make this recipe many times over.

I used coconut oil instead of butter. I also added about 2/3's cup chopped walnuts and increased the cinnamon to 2 tsp. It took 15 minutes longer cooking time than the instructions stated (a total of 55 minutes). It came out really good but needs salt. Next time I will add a teaspoon of salt.

Excellent except needed 65 mins to come out.

Everyone loved this moist, delicious cake! Made two simple changes: mixed the brown sugar, cinnamon and apples together before adding to the cake and used three apples instead of just one. Will be making this again.

awesome!!! but after we started to make it we realised we had no apples they were bad. so we made it without and it came out sssoooooo good, taste like a coffe cake. perfect for a nighttime snack with milk or tea. thanks.

I made this cake yesterday. I added about half a teaspoon of salt, tripled the cinnamon (maybe quadrupled, I eyeballed it)., also about a quarter cup more brown sugar. I had to add about 3/4 cup of milk instead of 1/2 cup as called for in this recipe. I only added apples( I used 2 large macintosh)in the middle of the cake ,along with the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. I added the remaining batter and topped with the rest of the brown sugar mixture and baked at 325 degrees for 38-40 min. It was delicious !! With those few minor changes I found this cake to be top notch!! My family loved it!! I ate the last piece this morning with my coffee and it was 5x better than yesterday!! What a rich and comforting, moist and scrumptious apple cake !! Definitely one of my faves and I'm thinking of making it again today! I will double the recipe next time and make 2 round cakes because I found it to be low in height and not enough to satisfy everyone's fancy! I may even layer them and add a glaze!!! Yum!!

This bread is fabulous! I followed the recipe, except the cooking time, and it was perfectly moist with delicious chunks of apples! I ended up cooking it a full 20 minutes beyond the 40 recommended - I took it out at 30 and then again at 40, but it was still pretty mushy. Also, next time, after pouring in the first half of the batter, I'm going to put the cinnamon/sugar mix and swirl it, then add the apples, and do the same on the top layer. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

I used half oil and half margarine. Awesome.

Really good! Since I was using a non-stick loaf pan, I reduced the oven temp to 325. The cake took about an hour to bake, but looks and tastes great!

Delicious loaf. My husband is gluten free so I used all purpose gluten free flower (XO Baking Co.) in place of the regular flower and it came out fantastic. Since a few people mentioned that the cake was dry, I added a couple of tablespoons of plain yogurt to the mix. I also mixed a teaspoon of cloves to the cinnamon mix and used three small apples instead of one. It came out moist with lots of flavor!! This recipe is a keeper, and my husband who is the pickiest eater loved it!

this was a very good receipe....i did modify it after reading reviews added 1/2 teas salt 1 table oil, added 1/2 more apple and cooked it for 50 min...covered it with foil after 40 min too keep top from browning so much. will make it again

It tastes great! The oven temperature/time on the recipe is a little off though because I baked it the way it says, but when I took it out of the pan, the middle was quite raw even though the toothpick came out clean. I put it in the oven for awhile longer, and now the middle is nearly fully cooked, but the edges and sides are crumbly and dry. Next time I will have a cooler oven and cook it for much longer. It will make a great breakfast tomorrow morning!

perfect as is. good job Jinglebells :-)

I really liked it! So easy to make with ingredients on hand. It could use a little almond extract perhaps? I am going to try that next time...

The timing of this recipe is way off. I baked this for 45 minutes. It looked done, but when it cooled it fell in the middle. I baked it for four minutes at 60 per cent in the microwave and it was no longer raw in the middle. The next one I make will be in the oven for an hour -- most of my other loaf cakes recommend an hour of baking. I have amended my notes to reflect the timing change. All in all, this is a family favourite, and a pretty nice showcase for one apple.

Simple but, needs more sweetness to me.

Yummy! That is all :0)

This was good but a little bit dry for my taste. I like a moister cake. It was very easy to make but took a bit longer than the 30-40 minutes that the recipe called for. I had it almost an hour before my toothpick came out clean. I will make this again but I will try to add some shortening or oil to moisten it a bit more and I will add pecans to the top layer of apples. I drizzled a simple glaze on top to finish it off.

Baked this as per recipe with the exception of a small amount of chopped walnuts. Two things; ovens vary so mine took about an hour not 30-40, second thing the cake is about 5 inches deep so testing with a toothpick is not going to work use a butter knife. My whole family enjoyed this!

so simple & delicious , i add little bit of nutmeg , salt and cinnamon to the cake batter , it turns perfect and yummy .

We enjoy this recipe immensely! I am not a big lover of cooked apple dishes, so when I first made this I decided it was more for my spouse than myself. However, if you dice the apples fine enough, the apples seems to melt into the cake batter so you get a great apple flavor without having to bit into a piece of soggy apple. I have made this recipe three times now in the past few months and I can tell that this will be a staple in our home. Thank you for sharing!

I just made this and it turned out pretty good. I used a huge apple, so it had an apple taste. I did use a dark pan so cooked at 325 instead of 350. It took 70 minutes to cook and the sides and bottom were a little brown, but it tasted good and was moist. Eat it warm with butter on it or ice cream.

My husband and I loved the recipe. The only thing I changed was I increased the cinnamon to approx. l tbsp. We love cinnamon!!!! I was multi-tasking and forgot about the cake. About 45-50 minutes later I remembered the cake. I tasted great. I put the leftover cake in a plastic bag overnight and it was so moist and delicious. Forwarded the recipe to my girlfriend at once.

It was a snow day and I wanted to make a quick loaf bread but stumbled upon this recipe and decided to try it. Long an behold this was a hit. My girls tried to eat the whole thing throughout the day, so did I. This was a nice, quick, and easy recipe. (used a grannysmith apple) I am going to make one for my girlfriend's birthday and give it to her as a gift since she loves my baking.

Its really good! I would add more brown sugar and cinnamon and I am going to add some dried cranberries in there too!

AWESOME! If you like coffee cake.. and you like apples.. this is the recipe for you. I doubled this recipe one for my house and one to bring to a fall bridal shower, er reading other reviews suggesting it didn't have much apple flavor so for the liquid ingredients I did half milk/half apple sauce. The flavor was to die for and the cake was incredibly moist, also probably because of the apple sauce. I also baked for 30 min, then checked with a toothpick, then did two more 10 minute intervals checking each time. It is melt in your mouth delish. The perfect fall recipe. I also used red delicious apples, and would suggest also adding one more apple if you enjoy the little juicy chunks of fruit. Thank you for this recipe!!!!! I will make this for thanksgiving!

Fabulous! My family loved it! It was gone within a day.

This cake is delicious! It's a great way to use those last few apples that just don't get eaten. I add pecans and reduce the cinnamon. Yum

Absolutely love it!

Excellent recipe. Took about an hour but well worth the wait. When I make again I may add a bit of salt. As others have said it needs a touch.

Thank you so much for this recipe! This will be one of my favorite go-to recipe's for a quick but delicious treat as well as using it for when I want a pretty and amazing dessert! I did have to bake it a little longer than it said, but I realize that ovens can be a little different so I don't just assume that there is a problem with the recipe. I am anxious to try it sometime in muffin tins!! Thanks again, I know I will use this recipe often!!

Needs at least 50 mins to bake! Crunchy on the outside, but raw in the inside after 40 mins

Very good, but I would add more apple next time.

This was a real easy recipe and very very tasty!

Made this cake this morning. I wish it had had more apple flavor. I used a granny smith apple today, but I will continue to experiment with other apple varieties. The cake itself had a nice crumb/texture and a nice cinnamon flavor. Quick and easy to prepare. It took 45 minutes in my convection oven at 350 (mine automatically resets to 325 on convection setting) to be done all the way through and the cake was still moist. I would definitely recommend giving this recipe a try.

I made this today. Delicious!! So moist and a big hit!

I just made one last night. And i followed some tips from the reviewers. Yes i did the 2 pink apples, chopped, mixed to 3 tbsps brOwn sugar. Leave for 15 minutes.. while waiting mix 1/2 cup white sugar to softened butter. And followed the rest of the ingredients. Finally!!! The perfect moist cake i am looking for. With my electric oven, i baked the batter for 40 minutes. The appearance looked like a marble cake. THANK YOU JINGLEBELLS and to all the reviewers who shared their expertise! Sept. 2, 2014.

Don’t change a thing,

This was not a successful recipe for me. The cake did not hold together at all and stuck to the pan. Disappointing. The cake itself was pretty good but a bit bland. I likely wont make this again.

Well the other reviews said this cake was dry, so I over compensated. I subtracted some of the milk and added oil, I soured the milk as I didn't have any buttermilk on hand. And I added a heaping tablespoon of sour cream...I was determined not to have a dry cake! Mine had to also bake about 1 hour, but it was a bit too moist in the center. I also added chopped walnuts, because the recipe seemed to lend it self well to accepting walnuts. The taste was very good, but due to my extra additions, a bit too moist. I think I probably should have baked it a few minutes more to eliminate this problem. I realize I made many changes to the original recipe, but I doubt if I would have given a higher rating. It seems you could also make muffins instead of cake with this recipe.

Even though it came out looking like the photos I see here, and moist, it was very dense. I think maybe I over-mixed it, not too sure. The flavour is nice, so finishing it wont be a problem, but will try to make it again at some point to give it a second chance.

Delicious! I also substituted the butter with applesauce. I think I'll double the batch, and use 3 apples instead of two. The flavours also come out best the next day (like banana loaf!)

Took this cake/bread to a retreat over the weekend. It got lots of kudos and requests for the recipe. Very moist, tasty and not overly sweet. I did follow the video and used the suggested two apples rather than just one. Thank you for posting!

I added some mashed apple to the batter and about 1 tsp of salt. I also used more than one apple to the sliced apple layers. I took about 1 hour to bake. I would give the recipe a 5 stars with my changes. My kids' friends asked for their very own personal loaf. Will definitely be making again.

It's delicious. I used less sugar-only 1/2 of a cup in a batter, and not white, but coconut sugar-it has the molasses taste. I also used 2 apples-"Lady Pink" variety. I baked it in slightly wider metal pan 9 by 7 inches for 40 min, and then covered it with a foil and left it in an oven for another 5 min. It came out well done, but moist. This cake is easy to prepair and tastes great!

The recipe is delicious however... I followed all of the directions but the cake was not done in 30-40 minutes. It took 60 minutes for it to cook completely. I like it but next time I am definitely adding another apple and keeping the peel on. I am also going to mix half the brown sugar mix and 3/4 of the (2) apples with the cake batter and put the remainder of the brown sugar and apples on top.

I tried it and it did come out delicious. I'll agree it takes far more than 30 minutes to bake. After tasting it, it was well worth the almost hour it took to bake. I will be making it again and may try peaches instead of apples.

This cake/bread was very good. We did notice it was a little dry and crumbly, but the flavor was excellent. This recipe is fairly easy as well.

I thought it was a little dry, but it had a good cinnamon flavor. I will add more apples the next time I make it.

This cake would have been great if it had only been done in the middle. I baked it for the recommended 40 min. plus 5 more. I couldn't bake it any longer or the outside and the ends and sides would have been hard as a rock. The recipe doesn't specify type or size apple, fine or coarsely chopped. I used a standard glass 9x5 loaf pan and my oven temperature was accurate. I did add 1/2 C. chopped toasted walnuts to the original recipe. What a disappointment.

This cake is going into my "best liked recipes. If I take it for a tea I always make two. I have been asked for this recipe several times.
