Apple Cake
I didn't really have a lot of time, so there are no pictures. Maybe a good thing, cause it did look a bit messy ngl.
I was going to eat dinner with my friends family, and I know they (esp her father) loves apple cake. Only her sister doesnt like having apple in the cake, so I knew I needed to find a way to make 1/3 of it without apples in them.
The biggest (self-made) problem was that i wasted too much time getting ready and not enough time planning on the cake. I found out a regular apple cake would take 40 minutes to bake, and I didn't think I'd have enough time. My solution? Well, the way I made an apple cake before was with a bag mixture for vanilla muffins and apples and cinnamon. Easy to do even without the bag mixture, right?
Wrong. So, so wrong. The mixing went fine, very easy actually! I put a bit more flour than the recipe said, as it didn't look thick enough (I don't know how they're actually supposed to look like but the vibe was off).
I put it in a cake holder, and put in the apples after so i could stir them in away from the part that was going to be without apples. I also was afraid i overkilled it with the amount of cinnamon I added.
The recipe said 10-12 minutes, which is why I though "You know what? I can waste time until 30 minutes before I need to leave before I make it". Wrong again. It took twice the time, and I got so stressed. When it was less than 10 minutes before I had to run to the bus, I took it out. It didnt really look that good. A bit too soft?
I cut it up and that went to hell. BUT I tasted a piece and I got suprised cause I thought it was really good.
I made it to their house, we ate dinner, then it was time to serve the family with my cake. Really just a mess but they said it was fine. They had ice cream so that was a perfect side.
Anyway, IT WAS REALLY GOOD. Even though it didn't look the best, it was so juicy and soft and good. I was shocked, and they were so nice and complimented it so much. I'm sad I didn't make more of it.
I might make it again tomorrow to bring to my brother, I really really liked it. Truly a win. Who knew vanilla muffin recipe would turn out to be an amazing apple cake haha.
TL;DR I made an apple cake out of vanilla muffin recipe, added more flour and cinnamon and apples(duh). It turned out amazing and I'm so proud of it!!
