Foodnote: My friend gave me lots of small size green apples. Initially planned to make apple pie. When I checked what ingredients I have, saw some cake flour. So apple cake it is. Found this recipe online and it looks very easy. It really is. Love the taste. It is not very sweet. I made 2 cakes. Ate some and gave the rest to my brother's family. Yumm... will definitely make again.
