One day later, I have to revise my review. This cake is not worth the cost of the ingredients and the amount of work. Save the icing recipe, not the cake. There are much better and simpler apple cakes, like the French Apple Cake at Once Upon a Chef.

I was intrigued by this recipe, so even though there were no reviews to read, I decided to risk it. Fresh Rosemary is very pungent; I would advise that 2 Tb. of rosemary is WAY too much. I used 1 tsp. Could have used a little bit more, maybe 2 tsp. I also cut down the nutmeg to 1/2 tsp. I wish you would say how many cups of chopped apple to use; 2 apples is too vague. Cut the frosting recipe in half. It's easily double what you need for this cake. I decorated it with a sprinkle of rosemary leaves and walnuts (think I would substitute walnuts for the hazelnuts). With that in mind, it's pretty good.
