In reply to Kelvin.

Agreed, Kelvin. This was a recipe from the very, very early stages of the blog, when I was more often than not providing measurements in cups for my Canadian/American audience – but quickly changed to deliver recipes the way I intended, using weights as often as possible.

This is a recipe I have been meaning to remake for some time, and all the measurements and ingredients will be updated as well. Thank you 🙂

Is the spelt flour white or wholemeal? Also, amounts need metricating..so much more precise than cups!! 🙂

In reply to Jacqueline Lamb. Thank you so very much, Jacqueline! I really appreciate the kind words and so happy you love this delicious cake. And I must say, a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream sounds absolutely heavenly! Hope your guests enjoy it too :)

I just made this and it is absolutely fantastic! It was exactly what I was looking for; buttery and bursting with fresh apple flavours without being overly rich. The ratio of cake to apple is perfectly balanced, and I can’t wait to serve it to friends the next time I have a dinner party. I think I’ll accompany it with a scoop of vanilla bean gelato to take it right over the top!

Very good ! I did not have any spelt flour, so all was wheat flour… I suppose I’ve missed the whole point of the cake but well that was still the best apple cake I’ve ever made. Alexandre said ” moi j’adore les gateaux comme ça!!” Next time I’ll try with the spelt.
Your website looks fabulous… Congrats 🙂

In reply to dashofbliss. Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it! Adding chopped walnuts sounds like a great idea.

This was a real delight! So simple yet so rich. I actually baked it in a buttered loose base fluted flan tin (with no parchment paper) and came out perfect. Next time I’ll try adding some chopped walnuts to add a little crunchiness. Merci!
