This cake is crazy dense. I think I heard that something like a dozen eggs were sacrificed to create this monster. It has a nutmeg flavor with a citrus aftertaste and leaves a buttery feeling on your tongue and lips. There are michigan transparent apples and dried cherries in it. I saw some almonds go in too but they seemed to have disappeared into this crazy dense cake. The density of this cake makes it feel borderline too dry, but overall it is really nice.
Sadly, there weren’t any black walnuts at the Ann Arbor Farmer’s market this week. Looking at Real Time Farms, it appears they chose this week to be absent. Anyhow, this cake was sugary sweet and delicious. It is suggested you eat the cake warm, which is weird for cake. Being warm helps the cake taste extra sugary. The buttery maple glaze doesn’t hurt, either. If I can find any faults in this warm cake it is that it is too sweet. I think a great counterpart would be some black coffee or bitter tea. There is always breakfast!
