A very simple cake, without added sugars, the many apples and kefir cake, try it, I’m sure you’ll like it!
Today I came back home from a week of vacation, unfortunately I had forgotten 5 apples in the fruit bowl. They were Reinette apples, still very good but a little bruised. So I thought of putting them all together in a cake, adding a couple of organic eggs, some raisins, and milk kefir.
It turned out as a soft but really good cake, definitely worth making again. And if you want it even richer, pour this mixture into a tart crust or puff pastry shell.
I’ll leave you with some other apple recipes, by now you can find hundreds on my blog since it’s definitely my favorite fruit, let’s see some of the most successful cakes.
