Niki’s Spiced Apple Cake
Fancy a seriously simple yet delicious sweet treat? Look no further than my autumnal spiced apple cake! Designed and created by Niki Beh recipe developer. This cake is so straightforward yet the flavours are so sweet and aromatic along with the soft texture of the apples, both cooked in the cake and raw and crunchy on top. I like to serve my apple cake with a generous dollop of coconut yogurt for extra decadence! (As with all Niki's recipes it's gluten free) All you need is:
