Most popular german apple cake taste delicious with tea. Perfect for kids & healthy too. Instead of apple even plums, apricot, cherries can be used. Cake looks shiny & fluffy once baked. By spreading apricot glaze adds more flavour to the cake. Last week I was invited to my friends house for lunch & I baked this cake just for them. It was delicious :)
