OLD-FASHIONED APPLE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR FROSTING FROM KAF



Old-Fashioned Apple Cake With Brown Sugar Frosting from KAF image

This came from a King Arthur Flour site and says: "This cake is an old, old favorite of ours. It's a cake where the whole is definitely more than the sum of the parts. The moist, semi-chunky cake, spread with the frosting equivalent of brown sugar fudge, is perfect served with a cup of coffee or, better still, a glass of ice-cold milk." Not the prettiest cake I've made, but OMG - the flavor is all over it, pretty sure to make my families favorite list
