Ok, so I LOVE anything with apples in it. Apple pie, baked apples, apple turnovers, apple chutney and even pork chops and apple suace. But this cake knocks them all out of the park. This recipe is made with fresh orange juice, a hint of ginger, Grand Marnier and lots and lots of apples. I like to use granny smith apples, which is a GREAT baking apple that's not too sweet and it has a nice tartness to it. Now you can doll this cake up for a special dessert by adding a dolip of whip cream to it or eat it in the morning with a nice hot cup of Joe.
