Description

It goes perfectly with tea and coffee. The cake turns out neither dry nor cloying if you use tart apple varieties. If you cannot have honey, simply omit it and replace it with the same amount of sugar. You can decorate the cake with nuts, fresh or frozen cherries, or pieces of marshmallow. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
