In honor of autumn, a favorite apple recipe.
Apple Spice Cake
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon (or more...I'm heavy handed on the cinnamon)
1/2 tsp. ginger (dried is good, fresh is better)
3/4 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. honey (I used chestnut honey, it's kick ass)
2 eggs
4 apples, diced (Granny Smith are good, but anything locally grown is even better!)
Preheat oven to 170 C (350 F). Butter and flour an 8 in. round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and powder, spices and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together butter, sugar and eggs; fold in apples.
Add flour mixture slowly until just combined (don't over mix - it makes baked goods tough).
Pour into pan and bake for approx. 45 minutes. Cool and dust with powdered sugar.
Buon appetito! Enjoy this little bite of autumn.
