Author Notes
I love apples. And I love cake. However, I've made this recipe with blueberries. Rasberries, pears, prune plums and peaches. All terrific.
The most important thing to know for this recipe is to cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Second most important thing to remember is to have fun! This is an easy recipe. And yummy. So enjoy the entire very simple process. From mixing bowl to mouth! —andreabakes
