Have I bored you silly with Apple recipes yet? No? Well, this German Apple Cake is ACTUALLY the co-star in this recipe. It’s true. I have to say the Buttermilk Frosting is the lead actor here. You all know how I feel about my frosting…and to wholeheartedly admit that I have a new favorite…well, I feel like you guys should all take note. The cake is loaded with apples, cinnamon…all the delicious players that go into an apple cake. And yes, for those of you heathens who “don’t like frosting” you can eat this cake nekkid. Even a light coating of powdered sugar would be sufficient. But. BUT. If you want to take your life to the next level I urge you to make this frosting and slather it all up on this cake…and then on everything else in your life. Let’s talk details… Apples. Obvi. Chop them. Duh. Mix them in your batter. Bake. Sigh, so pretty. Then get to the important part. The frosting. The whipped, tangy, buttery, rich love of my life. Adding buttermilk into this buttercream frosting adds a slight tang that will have you dipping your spoon into again and again. I am mildly obsessed if you haven’t noticed. Make the cake, yes, but definitely make the frosting. Helpful tip… Out of buttermilk?
