The best thing about using apple in any dessert is that it appeals to everybody. It has a soft texture, pleasing aroma and mild taste, which everybody will enjoy. The apple cake is one such creation that focuses on apples. Slices of apple are arranged like a beautiful rose, atop a base of plain flour dough, flavoured gently with vanilla and cardamom. A sprinkling of castor sugar over the apple slices before baking softens the fruit and gives you a nice, icy mouth-feel. The apple cake is best enjoyed warm, with whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream. Try other fruity delights like the apple pie and crunchy pineapple cake.
