I feel very well-qualified to review this recipe as thalassa was at my home 10 days ago making it for me. It is wonderful! And what makes it wonderful (imo) is the marzipan used in the cake batter. This dessert is LOADED with apples and tastes wonderful what with the applie/almond/apricot combination. Must be tried!

Hi Everybody!
I'm glad to have found a website where everybody is as crazy about cooking as i am!
My name is Maria, i'm half Greek/German and i live in Athens, Greece. By they way... I love it here and don't regret coming to a country with which i'm so mad sometimes (bureaucracy, no organization, slow pace, no good roads...)! Although i miss things from Germany, where i grew up, the colors and the light here are overwhelming. Of course i also love the Greek cuisine!
I'm 22 years old and I'm trying to go through law school - which isn't as easy as i thought and boring also!
I love everything that has to do with the sea and my most loved hobbies are windsurfing and sailing (cooking of course is the #1 for every day!). My favorite cookbook - well - there are so many and i love collecting them!
If i had another life - i would definitely start out as a cook - cause that's what i really enjoy besides sailing :)
