Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped walnuts or raisins to the batter. If you don't have fresh apples, unsweetened applesauce can be used as a substitute—reduce the sugar slightly if using applesauce. Ensure the butter is softened for easier creaming with sugar. For added warmth, try using freshly grated nutmeg instead of ground.
Serving Suggestions
This cake is delightful when served warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with Creamy Carrot Salad for a refreshing contrast. Try serving it alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat. It also makes a great breakfast option or dessert.
