There’s a hole in the middle of it!
After a lovely day spent in the snow and relaxing watching a great film, I made this cake. It is simply delicious. Quite moist and flavourful. As I am not much of a fan of super-sweet desserts, this cake does the trick. Plenty of applesauce and spices create a homey and winter-y treat.
