Let's Be Yummy A Gluten Free way to enjoy life's pleasant delights
My great-grandmother made a wonderful Raw Apple cake when I was a little girl.
In my memory, I can still taste the bits of apple in the cake.
Unfortunately, I never got a copy of her recipe (if she even had it written down!).
I found this recipe and it sounded close to what I remember. After the revision to gluten free/cow’s milk free, it matches my memory pretty close.
Hope you make some flavorful memories with your family.
