Recipe Reviews
Think I messed up on the measurements there's just too much to do..
I prefer the pineapple upside down cupcakes its faster and tastier but my husband is hooked on this so it still gets a decent rating.
To say I'm happy would be too little I'm SHOOKETH...
I came from the banana poke cake to this and this won me over it quickly knocked the banana out of the park lol.
Served it with vanilla icecream on the top.
Apple and cinnamon are the two things that should always be together this cake proves that.
I made it in a heart shaped pan and it came out so cute even put some powdered sugar/lemon glaze over it :)
Fantastic taste really good.
Well this is 10xs better than any apple pie i've ever had so i'll be sticking to this recipe for a long while.
Where do I even find golden syrup? Is maple syrup the same thing or?
Scrumptious cake and I managed to nail it on the first try thanks to the simple steps on this website.
So freaking tasty i'm day dreaming about the next time i'll get to eat it again which at this point will probably be tomorrow hahaha.
I love how it doesn't take too much time to make and is mouth watering!
My kids are obsessed with the taste of this i even told them theirs fruit in it and they still ate it even though they refuse to eat fruit on its own, little weirdos haha.
Normally I just slap some apples in dough then toss it in the oven for a simple pie but after seeing this I know i have to try it now and there's no escape.
Another brilliant recipe from the amazing Jelena, why am I not surprised?
Wasn't too pleased with the amount of ingridents needed for this but I enjoyed the taste nonetheless.
Would gladly get fat off of a cake like this one.
LOVED this apple cinnamon cake from the moon and back it's freaking delicious!
To be honest you could even add more fruits to the inside of this and it would still be delicious.
Yummy! Thanks for sharing recipe!
