Apple cake is my absolute favorite cake in the entire world! Well, that’s not entirely true. This particular recipe is my favorite in the whole wide world. Most of my birthdays this is the cake that I have wanted to have served in bed. Oh here is my family’s birthday tradition, see – I already mentioned the apple cake! What is super awesome with this is that its my great grandmothers recipe. Enough about the apple cake, the reason I was actually going to make it was because it was one of my co-workers last day on Monday. I wanted to make something that was simple to eat and not too messy.
Then it hit me like oh my goodness mind blown explosion idea. An apple cake in a maxi cupcake tin.
*Pausing for mind-blowing experience*
