Easy Apple Cake

Written by Published on Updated on June 3, 2019 in Dessert

Hi everyone!!

Friday and what a week this has been, my part time job is going well, and I am having fun.  I have a bit of exciting news to share with you. On Wednesday I received an email from Foodgawker, my No Bake Mini Chocolate Cheesecake photo was accepted. 🙂  I was super excited about this news!!  When I first saw the email I didn’t read it right away because I thought it would be the standard Thank you but Unfortunately.

After work I read all the mails that I had received, and it was time to read Foodgawker’s email and I could not believe it.  Shocked I say!!! hehehe Don’t think that this is the first one I sent in and it got accepted.  Nooooooo I have sent 17 photos and all were rejected. 🙂  I know that I still have a lot of work to do with photography.  I have been following some on-line courses for food photography. The one that I absolutely love and if you haven’t heard of her yet, you should definitely check it out is the thebiteshot.com on youtube.  Her name is Joanie and she is fantastic!!.  Such simple tips and tricks sometimes does actually do the trick. 🙂

Once I was done with work yesterday, and watching the latest video Joanie posted on youtube. I headed into the kitchen to make this pretty simple Apple Cake.  I had to much to do during the day so I wanted to make a simple dessert with ingredients that I already had in the kitchen.  Honestly, I wasn’t really in the mood to go running to the supermarket.  I did take Charlie out for his afternoon walk because that makes me happy too, getting off that chair that I have been sitting on all morning long, stretching a bit and a whole lot of walking.

So, this is what I mean about taking photos and understanding the camera.  I know I took photos of how I prepared this cake, but I can’t seem to find them.  The camera that I own now has a memory card uxxx but no memory of these photos??? pfffff!!!  Sorry everyone!!

The steps are very simple,  just follow the prep instructions below: 🙁

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
