apple cakeYummy, I only need to remember this cake that I already want to run to the kitchen and make it again. I copy the recipe from Lígia, and as she said that the cake was super easy and mega delicious, I sure wanted to test. And I confirmed everything that she said, the cake is super easy, fast, smells great, mega soft and delicious. And a great thing is that in this cake you use the apple skin in the dough, you don’t waste anything. So, I advise you all to prepare this cake as fast as you can…hehe, you won’t regret.

One basic maize flour cake always goes well, either in the breakfast or in the afternoon, this cake is never too much. I was searching a simple recipe, without too much work and above all tasty, I found several that seemed appetizing, but finished using this one, but I modified the sugar and the oil, because I don’t like cakes that taste too much oil. Recipe tested and approved, delicious!
