Apple-Cinnamon Cake

In last September, I got in arguments with my brother-in-law (IAG) on some matter n then I stopped talking to him! Silly me :P

Me n my sister-in-law (MIG) had decided to celebrate each family member’s b’day with a home-made cake till the time I was there! And yes, I have to mention here that we celebrated kaka and foi’s birthdays with black forest n fresh fruit cake respectively… When planned to make it for the 1st time, I was wondering if we get to eat cake :P But I must admit cake that she makes is outstanding in flavors n texture, even though she makes it in cooker!!!

So, what I was saying??!!! Ohh yes, I wasn’t talking to IAG n so I said NO for making a cake… We got to have it from bakery! And so I didn’t give him a gift too :P A few days later (when the situation was back on track), we prepared a daawat for all family members… Usually I can’t create a suspense scene, but this time it was an exception! I gifted him a beautiful self-made collage of family pictures n everyone loved it like anything… I clarified that I didn’t plan a cake or gift just ‘coz I was hurt! N then after confessing it, I felt so relaxed :P And yes yes yes… I got 100/- from dad-in-law in appreciation of such a wonderful gift :)

Huh, it has been a year now! Here is a lovely ‘Apple-Cinnamon Cake’ to wish him on his b’day n to say sorry for skipping cake last year :)

Happy Birthday, IAG!

3. Add this mixture to flour along with apple puree and milk.
4. Mix everything well to make a lump-free batter.
5. Pour this batter to a greased cake-mould.
6. Bake it in pre-heated oven on 180 degrees for 40-45 mins.

SJ’s NOTE:

• Insert a toothpick in it after 35-40 mins. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
• You can use apple syrup to replace milk in this recipe.
