Honey Apple Cake

This recipe was made originally by my great aunt Marie. She and Uncle Johnny owned an apple orchard in the mountains of Colorado. Uncle Johnny found great joy in tending to the orchard and Aunt Marie used her love of cooking to showcase the beautiful apples.
Enjoy this super moist cake for a delightful dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of warm cream sauce. A sweet breakfast with a little yogurt to the side is never a bad way to start the day either!
I have put my spin on the recipe by using whole wheat Einkorn flour but using an unbleached or whole wheat flour is delightful as well.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup softened butter
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups shredded apples I leave the peels on.
  • 1 1/3 cup whole wheat Einkorn flour or 1 ½ cup unbleached or whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream the butter and honey together, well. Add the 2 eggs and vanilla to the cream mixture. Mix well. Stir in the shredded apples and then add the mixed dry ingredients. Mix well.
  • Pour into a greased 9”X9” baking pan.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce or this custard cream sauce.
