I want to enter a contest that you make a bundt cake having to do with celebrating your state heritage and stuff. I'm from Arkansas, so I wanted to use Apples sine our state flower is the apple blossom.

My question..are apple cakes tasty? I'm not a big fan of apple pie or anything of the like, but I like fresh apples. What do apple cakes taste like? Do they bake well?

You also have to create the recipe yourself..So I was wondering what my basic recipe needs to look like? I am not sure of how much of what I need. I know flour, sugar, milk, eggs, and baking soda, right? Or is it baking powder..I'm so confused!

Any help will be apriciated!

Thanks in advance!!

Sounds like you're thinking about the Nordic Ware contest. Good luck.

There are many recipes with apples --- and a lot of them are very tasty. Have you checked cookbooks? Or a site like www.allrecipes.com ? I'm sure there are several recipes in the Cake Mix Doctor books ...

I know I've made several over the years that we like .. and a few that we weren't that pleased with. I think you should check out some recipes and try a few ideas... take pictures as you do .. as some pictures turn out so much better than others. Good luck.

Do you have any of Anne's cookbooks? You only have to change one ingredient in the recipe to make it your own, so you could use a recipe of hers as a starting point. She has some good apple cake recipes.
