When I saw this cake in a magazine, I knew right away that I wanted to try it.
The visual impact was pretty strong and I also liked the catchy name; I found this recipe in a small magazine called “Good & Fresh” that came with a Shape magazine, and it was named “Applicious Sheet Cake” in this magazine.
I made a few changes because 1) I wanted to make it vegan, 2) I didn’t have some of the ingredients at home, and 3) I had my idea of what I wanted it to taste like.
A sheet cake like this is so easy to make.
You basically combine and mix all the ingredients and stick it in the oven.
It was moist and absolutely “applicious (full of apple flavor and delicious; I think that’s how you define this word, right?)” !
This cake is great to serve as a snack but also perfect for breakfast as well.
