If you like apples, raisins, walnuts and spices, you’ll love love love this cake! It smells heavenly while it’s baking and the yummy gooey pudding it makes is too die for…if you like this sort of thing!  Very easy to make!  The Amish and Mennonites didn’t have time to fuss around, they got right to the heart of making their food and desserts.  I think I just took a trip back in time!

Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
