It’s almost spingtime and I really feel the need of some sunshine: warmer weather, longer days, I mean longer time of sunlight, and the juicy spring fruits which prelude to the rich variety of summer. I love all kinds of cakes with fruit but my favourite ones are with strawberries. It’s only a matter of a few weeks’ time. I must admit that I associate strawberries with the good season and spring flowers. I like to give my house a ‘new look’, with flowers on all balconies and windowsills: it’s my way to express my joy for life.
A few days ago I was undecided about the cake to make, I was looking for a breakfast cake but with a fresher flavour, I didn’t want anything with chocolate or jam, but something which would mirror, in a way, my love for spring. So I opted for this apple cake, which is good with a cup of coffee or tea and has a simple but one-of-a-kind aftertaste.
