This gluten-free apple cake isn’t your ordinary cake – it’s an assortment of textures and flavors! The scent of fall spices give way to this crumbly and moist cake, infused with strong apple flavor, made intense with the cider. The apples are soft, contrasting with a light crunch provided by the walnuts and bursts of sweetness from the raisins and sultanas. A perfect cake to have with tea!
