Apple Tray Cake With Lemon Toffee Sauce
Advertisement
Apple tray cake is baked using whole wheat flour and fresh crunchy fuji apples. It is topped with lemon toffee sauce to add that extra flavor and punch to the cake slices. I love this simple tray cake as it is baked without any extra creamy frosting. These cake slices are petit and healthy too, specially dedicated to health conscious people.
