We loved this moist,spicy cake although my husband had an odd feeling in his throat. He adores apple cake and I love to make new ones especially not typical Dutch! It is a pity though that I have to convert the recipes to the metric system but that is inevitable.
11/6/2011 01:13:24 PM Report AbuseMy husband and I loved this cake. The flavors are fabulous, and the chipotle pepper gives a satisfying heat at the back of the throat. Although my husband thought it was perfect, I did had a very odd feeling in my throat and chest area - kind of a constricted sensation. Curious. At any rate, I think that I may experiment with the amount of chipotle powder to see if I can avoid that reaction.
11/15/2010 06:47:38 PM Report AbuseI loved this cake. Make it. I tend to be generous with the cloves, ginger, cinnamon & nutmeg (which is fine with this recipe) however, I measured the "pepper" spices exactly and it came out perfectly. I wouldn't suggest bumping those up. The cake has just a tiny, interesting aftertaste of hot that blends wonderfully with the other spices. Not a "typical" apple cake, but delicious!
