Whole Wheat Apple Cake image

This is a delicious cake enriched with fresh fruit and lusciously spiced. It tastes better the next day when the flavors really come together and the tartness of the apples settles. It is worth warming slightly before serving. Adding allspice takes away the slightly bitter taste of the whole wheat flour. Happy baking!

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 large eggs

This cake is a bit more dense than I expected, but it's still very good. I think it would be even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover apples. I had a few apples that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make this cake. It turned out great!
