Recipe Summary Whole Wheat Apple Cake
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.
