Apple Nut Cake without apples


I got my ingredients out, was creaming the sugar and oil (instead of butter) and my husband said, he did not want apples.  OK, I am flexible but this cake called for 3 cups of diced apples.  I did some scurrying.  I added a cup of ground walnuts and upped the chopped nuts to a cup.  I added another tablespoon  of oil and then I hoped for the best.

I am sure the results are no thing like the apple cake, Taste of Home aimed for but I have to tell you, it is delicious.  It is like toffee, nice and chewy in the inside.

I am sharing with you the correct recipe for this apple-nut cake.

  5. I love it when a 'mistake' turns out to be the best thing ever! Your apple cake looks wonderful! And well done for thinking on your feet like that! I often use ground almonds in baking, but I have never tried ground walnuts - I must try that. Thank you for sharing this post with the Gallery of Favorites.
