Frankly speaking I personally don't quite like the taste of cinnamon. Whenever I come across any recipe that mentions "cinnamon", I will just skip or replace with other ingredients. During my recent trip to Alaska, I got a chance to taste a good and fragrant donut at one of the cafes. Since then, I have changed my mind, if one uses an appropriate amount of cinnamon, the result of the end products can be rather delightful. I would say apple and cinnamon is a perfect combination, they blend so well together.
This cake is moist, fluffy and soft. The sourness of the green apple, the delightful hint of cinnamon, and the buttery butter... sedap.
