Backstory: This is one of my most favorite things that my mother made and like most of her beloved recipes, it also traveled well. She sent me this cake through the mail to wherever I happened to be living on my birthday. I remember receiving it in Amsterdam, Holland to the profound surprise of everyone I knew there. The cake arrived in perfect condition and was also, the best cake any of my Dutch friends had ever tasted, and for those in the know, their Apple Gebbach is nothing to sneeze at. We always thought this cake was going to make my mother rich but instead, and better still, it confirms my feeling that my mom is still here with me---this recipe just fell out of another cookbook, all on its own, as if by magic, I wasn’t even sure I still had the recipe. Thank you, Mom. I miss you.
