I love recipes that are big on flavor and texture, and this cake is no exception. This Apple Flax Amish Friendship Bread Cake recipe will surprise you with the perfect blend of cinnamon and apple, AND it uses applesauce and flax meal, along with less oil.
Fun fact: flax meal is a good egg substitute. The box substitution is 1 egg for 1 tablespoon flax meal plus 3 tablespoons water. If you’re using fresh apples, cut back on the water used with the flax meal substitution. This recipe made two 8″ cakes.
