This apple cake is the kind of baked treat that pushes me to a “must-have break” in the afternoon. Believe me! (the perfect indulgence while Lia takes her usual nap)… a cup of tea, a book, and a good slice of this apple cake, and everything becomes a super –nice- happy moment. Gratifying myself with something that I made just feels so good! Funny about this cake is that I’d have never thought in a million years that I would be making + eating a cake without gluten + refined sugar and milk!
Since changing my eating habits, I started an experiment a lot with gluten-free flours, and is something that I find incredibly interesting. I mean, making a cake without ingredients; such as regular raising flour, milk, or refined sugar, was not possible to me at all. Simply because I didn’t understand the importance of whole foods and how the implementation and use of rich + wholesome ingredients ( instead of refined/ processed ingredients) work and how come they could provide nourishment + health benefits to the body. But I guess everything has its own time, no?!
So as I was saying changing my eating habits took me to all that experimentation with gluten-free flours and in my process of finding new ways with ingredients, I found a few different (GF) flour combinations and recipes to play with. With time and after a while, I found myself creating my version of a gluten-free cake, a cake that can be eaten any time of the day. It’s a simple, humble cake but with an amazing flavor that can surely make one ask for seconds!
Now, let me share with you a bit more about this cake, ok.
This cake doesn’t take long to cook, (which is wonderful when you’re a busy mom, (like me / or just a busy lady with no much time for baking), the other thing is that this is totally foolproof ( so, don’t worry if this is your first time experimenting with wholesome ingredients because this is incredibly easy to put together). I also like making this cake with walnuts; it adds a bit more crunch + nutty flavor and complements the apples really well. So you can try either, with or without the walnuts. They're both wonderfully delicious!!!
Happy GF baking!
