Day 17 of 100 - Friday's Treat, Apple & Almond Cake.

A Friday treat.

​Everyone is finding it difficult to distinguish one day from the next, so I have decided to do a treat on Friday this week. Maybe we will still do a cake for Sunday's tea. Trina, my good friend reminded me of that wonderful tradition of keeping Sundays special. Having lunch in the middle of the day, almost always a roast and then for tea, some gorgeous cake and maybe some soda bread with homemade jam.

​Had a few Pink Lady Apples roaming around in the fruit bowl, getting a little bit ragged looking, so I came up with this little beauty.
