Going to be a new fall favourite when the apples are fresh. Thanks to Sue Becker at our USA Ankarsrum Distributorship for this recipe.  It is featured in her wonderful book “The Essential Home Ground Flour Book” full of great recipes and information on the benefits of home grinding your grain and much more.  This cake is absolutely yummy.   I know already my dad will love it when I take him some tomorrow.
