We all loved this moist and taste cake! The combination of apples-pumpkin is great and the vanilla addtion made this cake really super yummy! I used quite big apples and perhaps for this reason the cake was less fluffy, but super tender and moist!<br/>I decorated the top with wallnuts as we love the taste of raosted walnuts and this makes the cake pretty. <br/>I'm glad I tried this cake and used some of apples from the garden in this way.<br/>Made for Culinary Quest 2014.
