This looks delicious. Clever way to make use of all ingredients and I should try it. as a moist, dense cake is a favorite. We have picked up a giant box of mostly produce from a local market every 2 weeks. You order online and have choice of box size, but they choose all contents and provide a list so you know what is coming. Ditto on the military operation: re-wrap produce in life extending bags, organize it in order of life span, do frequent recipe searches by ingredients to use. I love to cook and have the time to be even more focused on it now. We light candles, have “date” nights. Agree with others that it is the highlight of the day.

Thanks for sharing.

Carla, your pie looks yum! I'm also a cake person

Joy, please do. I also add extra apples!

Anne, midnight pudding sounds fdab to me....

Eliza, how therapeutic! And HIGH FIVE on the milady operation....

I have been inspired !

OK, so I don’t want to sound like a dunce here, but I don’t get the whole grams-to-cups conversion thing! I just googled “how many cups is 250 grams” and I came up with 1.6 cups, 1.99 cups, and “2 grams = 1 cup.” Huh? Help!

Generally 250 grams is a little over one cup.

Think " coffee mug " size... and no, not the wanker bucket size you see on " Friends " !

Grams to Cups tutorial for those who are confused.

FYI.....Most of the world measures dry ingredients by weight (grams). North America measures dry ingredients by volume (cups, fluid ounces, ml). Converting grams to cups is not a one size fits all conversion. Small things can weigh more than large things depending on their density. SO, when converting you must use a conversion for the specific ingredient you are using.

Examples......
250 g all purpose flour = 2 cups
250 g granulated sugar = 1 1/4 cups
250 g butter = 1 cup

Converters like this one are handy because they allow you to choose the specific ingredient you wish to convert.

Hope this helps!

Ooh, just chiming in to share my version of Angie's cake. I used 4 eggs, 200 grams of AP flour, 50 g of almond flour, 1.5 cups granulated sugar. I grated my apple with a box grater because of course, I have so much time on my hands these days. I used a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and a 1/4 of cardamon. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks so much for sharing, Angie! It is SOOOO good!

Marilyn, excellent info. Thank you!

Kelly! HAPPY DANCE! The cake looks beautiful! I'm glad it was a family success

" That's not a cake... "

*Kelly pulls out cake*

" Now, THAT'S a cake ! "

So I finally made it yesterday. Waited for shopping day so I could buy butter.
I used 50g almond meal and the rest gluten free flour, 60g brown sugar and the rest granulated. I teaspoon cinnamon and 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (could not really taste the latter)
Couldn't find my deep tin base (has since been found) so in order to fit this shallow tin used only 3 eggs and tell some of the mixture!
I was trying frugally to use up old apples, so used red ones, though granny smiths might have been better.

Family liked. I am off to have some for lunch dessert with homemade plain yoghurt.

I could eat that !

Love your teapot and mugs and happy turquoise pot! I don't bake, cause eggs are so messy, but I'll be happy to carry off a slice of cake

EXCELLENT, Anne. Looks fab.

Kellygirl made her second one yesterday, and I made our third on Friday (Greg's request!). I used four eggs this time round because I had them. Greg prefers the cake with 3 eggs. More dense. Delicious if you heat a slice in the microwave for 30 seconds. Perfect with tea

Yes, I will be making this regularly. My family said this is the best apple cake they've ever had. That's saying something because I live with a bunch of very particular eaters! It's great at room temp or warmed. We had it with ice-cream but I bet it would be great with a dollop of yoghurt too.

Hah

Good to hear! It’s now called the quarantine apple cake.

I am adding this cake to my baking list for next weekend! I STILL can't believe you made it with various ground goods like oats! *mind blown*. I will report back!

I hope you like it, Nemosmom. I freeze half and that works beautifully too,

This looks delicious. I appreciate GF recipes as DH has celiac.

I made this today and it was delicious! I just now read Marilyn’s post on measurements, and when I made the cake I thought 250g of flour was a little more than a cup, so that’s what I used. The cake was still delicious! I also used 2 tsp of cinnamon which was perfect and not too much at all, and I sprinkled powdered sugar on top. The cake was a bit dense and didn’t rise a lot (probably due to my flour error), but it was oh so yummy! DH loved it so much he ate almost half the cake in one sitting!

What if you don’t have a Bundt pan?
