By popular demand, here is my apple cake. A quick, simple, and even light recipe. 😀

The recipe for this apple cake is handwritten by me on a little piece of paper that I’ve kept for decades.
It’s a recipe I used to use as a go-to, starting with 1 egg, sugar, milk, and flour (the bare minimum for a cake) and varying an ingredient each time (for example, pears instead of apples, or adding raisins, or coconut flour) I would get different cakes even though the base was always the same simple recipe.

Now, after many years of… let’s call it neglect 😀 I picked up one of my old recipe notebooks to find a classic apple cake to please my husband, who had been asking me insistently for a week to make apple cake – yes, I hadn’t made one in years and he missed it!
When I opened the notebook and saw it:


there was no doubt, an easy, low effort, quick recipe to prepare… considering it was almost midnight… all important things to consider!
But of course, I made a few small changes to the recipe as written in the notebook: first, I reduced the sugar a bit, used just one apple so the cake wouldn’t be too moist, and used kefir instead of a glass of milk, since I have an excess of kefir almost every day (those who don’t produce kefir can use milk or regular plain yogurt).
And then I used a flavoring… mmmmh… which I’ll reveal later! 😃

Well, I think I’ve covered all the essentials, shall we get right to the recipe, what do you think?
