Baking day ...

A few weeks ago Katherine posted a recipe for a fresh apple cake and I was eager to give it a try. I don't know what made me think it was a loaf... back to basics : read the whole recipe first. Probably it was just me...and the fact that I like loaves...prefer them actually, unless it is carrot cake. But this is a large cake. 9 X 13 large as a matter fact. Here is a little slice for you. I absolutely could not make myself use the 2 cups of sugar it called for.... .. I opted for only 1, and it was still plenty. I also added a few more spices.... quite yummy. Tx Katherine.











It was a baking day.... apple cake.... some banana choc-chip muffins for the freezer....












and then... pizza.
