Listener Toni shares her family recipe for Mom's Apple Cake. Toni writes, "The recipe I am sharing is one my mother used to make and one of my favorites! I own a small, start-up bakery in Wauseon, Ohio, and this is one of only two cakes I offer." She adds, "[Its] such a happy recipe!"
Also, we're giving Toni some additional props for her donation of the cake recently to a local benefit in her area for a family who is dealing with cancer. Food is love, folks! Check out the recipe below.
