Kitchen Notes

This recipe had just the right amount of moisture. Flax meal is a good egg substitute. The box substitution is 1 egg for 1 tablespoon flax meal plus 3 tablespoons water. If using fresh apples, cut back on the water used with the flax meal substitution. This recipe made 2- 8 inch cake pans.
