Em’s Easy Apple Cake Recipe
October is the month we celebrate all things apple-y. Here’s the gluten free recipe for Em’s Easy Apple Cake, which went down a storm in our October Bee Shack cafe open day. We’ve included cranberries as an alternative. You can also find a recipe for Dorset Apple Cake in our book, Honeybuns Gluten free Baking.
