Seriously, this may be my favorite dessert ever. I baked this apple cake this morning, ate one quarter of it for lunch, and another quarter for dinner. I'm tempted to include a picture of the half-eaten cake in this post, but am too embarrassed. I don't know what else to say. It's moist, delicious, seasonal and can be enjoyed at breakfast, lunch or dinner. I mean it. Make it! // alexandracooks.com
