Addictive Apple Hazelnut Cake
You'll love this cake with apples and hazelnuts
This cake is always in my freezer. Try it once and you will never want to do without it again.
Your all season family cake
Cake is always an option – sometimes it is even the solution. Right?
For me, definitely! I just can’t walk past a good piece of cake.
My husband is different though, he doesn’t do anything like that and I can’t follow him.
I found this recipe by chance when I was on a foray on the internet. It’s super easy, quick to make and the cake tastes great.
But be careful – I always have to freeze most of the pieces right away. Otherwise, there will be only crumbs leftover in the evening.
I’m curious if this Apple Hazelnut cake convinces you as much as it does me.
