Shredded Apple Spelt Cake

I might try it with 3 eggs next time (mine were only medium size anyways). It is very flavoursome and moist, so it's definitely a keeper."

"I made this recipe primarily cause it was wheat free. It was delicious and very moist, unlike most wheat free stuff.

"Good flavor and texture, though I didn't bake for 60 minutes. After about 30, I turned my temp down to 350. The orange juice flavor was a bit strong, but I used fresh squeezed and that could be why. O..." See morever all, good cake!!"
