Gay this cake is delicious! I made it this evening and we ate it while it was still warm. Since it hadn't cooled completely the slices were a bit haphazard but it was really good!

Thanks for posting!

Barbara in VA, You are most welcome. The recipe is a Keeper and I will always have it in my make...

over list. Glad you enjoyed it.

Barbara and Gay, what are your thoughts about making this cake a day ahead? Refrigerate or not? T.IA

 

[gayr]

Sylvia, I have not had the opportunity to refrigerate as it disappears. I think

it will lend itself to refrigeration but since I have not tried it I am not sure what the end result will be.

Perhaps, Barbara got to refrigerate some and can respond.

Sylvia, I put the left over cake in the fridge last night and just had to try a piece...

this morning in order to answer your query! The slices cut and look exactly like the picture, thin layers of apple slivers. And, I think, it tastes just as good as it looks!

You might want to set it out a bit before serving if you don't want to serve it cold.

Enjoy!

Thanks for answering ladies. I'll bake this afternoon. One less thing to do tomorrow. Cheers!

Is this recipe a candidate for T & T?

If you don't have vanilla beans on hand, how much vanilla would you use?

 

[sylvia]

I used a slurp of vanilla. Someone did post the recipe showing 1 tsp of vanilla.

Thanks Sylvia.

This an amazing cake. I love the texture. I've put the recipe into T & T giving credit to GayR.
