An afternoon cake

Our book group meets each month, but every other gathering is essentially an excuse to drink tea and eat cake. Waiting for everyone’s schedules to accommodate a new book was delaying the regular catching up that everyone was really after, so this was the pragmatic compromise. Book or no book, these afternoons offer a perfectly reasonable excuse to try out a new cake recipe.

Cinnamon Apple Cake

Is there still time to talk about cinnamon apple cake? Have we all switched out of harvest mode and directly into there-are-so-many-Christmas-cookies,-how-will-I-find-the-time mode already? On these islands it’s more like why-would-you-eat-anything-other-than-mince-pies-in-December mode, but I’m wondering if we can still sneak this one in. I hope so.
