Note: This is one of Mickey Porter's favorite cakes. Pix below:
I had to sample a piece of this cake and it was very moist; the contrasting
texture and taste of the fresh apples, pecans and other ingredients was
outstanding. I could have used a much thinner knife blade to cut the
cake but in too big a hurry! The cake did not linger very long in the
plate and saving some room for a helping of venison stroganoff on top of a
bed of sticky rice.
