Apple CakeI came across this recipe months ago and have been drooling over it ever since.  Waiting for an occasion to bake it.  Today seemed like such a time.  A pleasant, low key Easter.  No big gathering or extended family festivities, but I decided to set a pretty table and cook a nice meal, just for us! The sun surprised us and made an appearance for most of the day which had been forcasted to be overcast, with rain and snow!

In the past I have posted some of my favorite family recipes to my blog with great response.  After all I don't JUST sell real estate!  So when this pretty cake came out of the oven I snapped a picture in anticipation of posting the recipe for you all to enjoy.

There it sat, beautiful and beckoning, through dinner until time for dessert arrived.  With eager anticipation I took my first bite and was so DISAPPOINTED!  It was okay.  Ho hum.  Mediocre.  Nothing that was worthy of my high expectations.  It was beautiful on the outside, but a let down once I got a taste in my mouth.

And so it goes.  Sometimes we are pleasantly surprised with the unexpected and unanticipated. And sometimes we are faced with disappointment and unmet expectations.  But nothing ventured, nothing gained.  At least the cake was pretty as a picture!

Janna, that cake looks delicious and perfect! Don't you just love when that happens. I am so glad you and your family had a nice Easter! I made a carrot cake and it received rave reviews!

Janna - the cake does look great!  I'm sorry it was disappointing.  My parents talk about apple cake and bread pudding (must have been inexpensive sweets for their families).  I'll see if I can get a recipe to share!

The cake does look great!

It must have really been a huge let down to discover it just didn't taste all that great, especially after putting in all the effort to bake it.

Janna - I am fortunate enough to have a German friend, who makes wonderful apple cakes.  I have one of her recipes around here somewhere.  I'll try to dig it up in a day or so!
