I finally made it! I was given a recipe for an apple cake by one of my husband's coworkers. She's a pretty awesome chick and I was thrilled that she offered her mom's recipe to me to try out. She thought I'd really like it. Well, she was wrong because I didn't just like it...I loved it.
When I looked over the ingredients and started making it, the batter was unlike any other cake recipe I've made. I've even had apple cakes before, but this one was different. The ratio of apples to flour seemed like it was off, but the end result proved it to be spot on. The inside was so moist and the top had this sweet, crispy shell that had such a great contrast to the medley of flavors mixing in your mouth. I would almost consider it a coffee cake because of the chunky apples and the soft texture. Regardless of what it's called though, you can pretty much guarantee that it's like a bunch of sweet apples dancing on your tongue that are surrounded by fluffy, cinnamon-y goodness. Yep, I actually said that.
My only regret with this cake? Waiting two weeks to make it.

Her recipe calls for nuts, but I didn't have any so I just left them out. I'm sure they would offer a wonderful flavor and added texture so if you have them, you should definitely throw them in.
