Back
in October, while sitting on my couch with the flu, I was surfing the internet
when I stumbled upon this torte recipe. I knew I needed to try it and I did so
a couple of weeks later... We devoured this easy to make cake. The grated
Golden Delicious apples give the torte a lovely moist texture. This cake is
delicious served on its own or with a small dollop of vanilla ice cream. A
perfect autumn treat!
