Autumn is wrapping its cozyness around us, our days are filled with tea, photography, cakes and cinnamon scents. So, it feels like it’s time for apple cakes here, light and fluffy, with hazelnuts and cinnamon on top and comforting whipped cream. Easy to make, delicious, and perfectly fitting for days like these when you don’t want to spend the whole day in the kitchen.
I could not love this classic combo of apples, hazelnuts and fluffy cake more. It’s all I can think of on a Sunday afternoon.
