Directions

If there is something that takes me back to my childhood is the smell of my mother’s apple cake while it is cooking.

I would have never stopped eating it and also never stopped liking the bowl where some cream left over.

During the years I learn to cook many different dishes from the simplest to the most elaborated recipes, but this one it has remained my favourite one!

When I propose Apple Cake as a dessert I don’t draw the attention of the people, because sometimes they think it is the “usual” cake, maybe outdated. But they don’t know what they are missing !!! In fact my mother’s preparation it is a little bit different from the typical preparation and she has her own way to insert sliced apple into the cream. You should try to prepare it with her and me, maybe in a dinner or cooking class you will attend, why not?

Moreover, to celebrate this delicious cake I dedicated to it the final task of my foodphotography course with one of the most expert blog food photographer in UK. I will join her link as soon as she will post my picture ;-).
