Don’t you just love a cake you can whip up at a moments notice. A cake that comes out of the oven and is ready to serve almost immediately. One that is a doodle to make. And a cake that everyone immediately asks for second servings.
The ingredients are simple. Eggs, sugar, flour and melted butter. Some flavouring. Then at least four kinds of apples. Any kind of apple works although it is a bonus if one of the apples is the “mushy” kind like Spartan or Macintosh, and use some apples that are crisp, some sweet and some tart.
I time this cake so it comes out of the oven shortly before I plan to serve it. It is perfection itself savoring this apple cake while it is still warm. The generous amount of various types of apples are suspended in a barely there rich, cinnamon flavoured batter.
The recipe for Four Apple cake awaits you on MRS.BUTTERFINGERS.
Oh, I will try this one as I am getting better with my springform pan! Will add it to my “Virginia’s recipes!” I haven’t been posting lately as I have been volunteering with United Way four mornings a week. Must do a post to explain. Cheers!
Dear Jo Nell. I did whip up this cake and baked it in a regular cake pan. It worked but the springform pan made it easier to serve the cake. Looking forward to hearing about your United Way work. Bon Appetit Virginia
Filing under the letter “D” for doodle. Great word. Yes, I’m also adding it to my file of “Virginia” recipes. Very pretty. Photogenic, too. Thanks for the inspiration, Virginia.

Dearest Miss T. This recipe has gone through countless variations. I started making it when we were living in Amsterdam. It was prominent in the show cases of every bakery. I have a sneaking suspicion there are more variations to come. I simply adore the ease it goes together. A real doodle. XX Virginia
Dear Miss T. I should call this my doddle apple cake because it is such a breeze to whip up and it is so doddly decadently delicious. The first time I served it to our family the four we consumed the entire cake. Everybody had seconds. Have a wonderful weekend. XX Virginia
Doddly decadently delicious. Jotting down the recipe. Jotting down the description, too.
Again, thanks for the delightful divine inspiration.

(Enjoy the weekend!)
Ymmm–a wonderful way to use up my spare apples.
You will love this cake. And think how good those apples are for you. Bon Appetit Gayle. Virginia
I don’t like apple, but this seems too good ! Nice 🙂
This just might change your mind about apples! I hope you have a chance to try it. Cheers Virginia
Yeah will surely do. And i really like to know that what’s virginia :p
Yummo…. or should I say “doodlicious”! That’s my kind of recipe!
Thank you, Virginia! xoxo
I love the word “doodilicious! It rolls off the tongue. Much better than the improper use of the word “awesome”. We are knee deep in snow. So unusual for us but it inspires me to spend time in the kitchen Resa. XX Virginia
Not much snow here, but it’s as cold as I’m not going out! I’m at home cooking a lentil veggie soup & homemade pizza.
Much winter love! xoxoxo
