I’m almost certain you all have APPLES ! Right ? Along with some citrus fruits and maybe bananas too … the basics in the world of fruits. Let’s make an easy and modifiable apple cake that’s perhaps a little bit healthier too, but that’s up to you and your taste buds, because I’m sure you’ve all become top chefs these past 2 weeks of confinement, but it will all get better in time. Be patient.

This week, we’ll focus on fruits and next week on vegetables and the week after on meats and then we’ll combine it all together and continue in that spirit. Positively and serenely.

Here’s my version of an apple cake. No butter, but olive oil instead but you can use vegetable oil too. I’ve mixed 3 different flours including whole-wheat and buckwheat (but maybe you can try rye ?) but use whatever you have on hand. There’s also a mix of spices but it’s mostly cinnamon, which I’m certain you also have.

It’s basically 2 layers of slightly sweet vanilla cake with 2 layers of extra sweet apple slices that are marinated in sugar, spices and apple cider vinegar, which will release juice and this juice will be used to glaze the cakes when combined with some icing sugar.

I hope you’re all using your time wisely, doing stuff you may have not enough time to do in the recent past and doing it “right”. When everything returns to “normal” or a different type of “new normal”, you’ll be able to redo everything you want to once again, but perhaps differently.

Stay healthy, stay at home, help yourselves, help others, keep in touch … ;)
