Chaya saved me the effort of making myself a birthday cake tomorrow by choosing this recipe for the BWD challenge this week. It's just what I wanted: simple, non-fussy and, judging by the deliciously caramel-sweet aroma of brown sugar and apples infusing my house, deeply comforting and flavorful.
I'm afraid I can't say much about the flavors because I haven't sliced into it as yet - I'm doing what Dorie suggests and keeping it on the kitchen counter, tightly-wrapped. Till tomorrow. So that I can have myself a birthday cake. And I'm so sure it's a winner, like every recipe of Dories' that I've baked so far.
You can find the recipe on Chaya's blog or on Page 179 of Baking: From My Home To Yours, by Dorie Greenspan. Be sure to check out the other BWD bakers here and here. This week we were joined by two new bakers - welcome Laurie & Rebecca!

afterwipThat cake sounds really good and I bet it would improve in flavor by waiting a day to cut it. The only way that would happen in my house is if I hid it from my husband! I always admire the beautiful textiles you show in your photographs.
You will indeed enjoy your birthday cake! Hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy Birthday! You will not be disappointed in your birthday cake...it was amazing! Hope you have a great day!

My cake is still sitting on the counter and I cannot wait to finally eat it this evening!

I have to add a post-note because this cake is simply delicious. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S. I'm sorry that I don't have a better adjective to describe it, but I just finished having my first slice and I think this might be one of my favorites from BFMHY!
Happy Birthday Lioness!
