recommendation: double the flour. I use an extra half cup of coconut flour and it makes it way more cake-ey, more substance, and it holds together better.

Hi! Love your site, this recipe is awesome! My three year old son loved it, my husband loved it, I love it! (Even using regular vanilla as I didn’t have any vanilla bean)also excellent for breakfast and a pre-workout snack! I think I will try a little more flour next time to see if I can get it a little puffier (I’m at 6200 ft). Let you know.

I’ve made this two or three times since that recipe was in the NYT Times. Going to try it with pears in a week or so for a family get together. Will let you know how THAT turns out.

Hi!
Thanks so much for posting this! Some students of mine brought me a big packet of Italian baking powder mix that is made specifically for said apple cake. They had it in a cafe in Piedmonte I had recommended, and the proprietor told them to buy this specific yeast. Unfortunately the apple cake recipe on the packet was horrid, I’ll give this recipe a try.

I’ve made this wonderful cake three times. Messed it up a bit the first time, was still delicious. It’s a little hard to get into the pan though cause it tastes so good even before it’s cooked. Ha!

Glad you made that note about baking. We’ve both baked something and found ourselves confused thinking it ‘should’ look a certain way. The texture of this one sounds nice.
