So many apples and what to do….. .? Bake…bake...bake. This is a simple yet satisfying breakfast cake that goes perfectly with coffee or tea to start your day. It really is not too sweet and gets you started without fuss or muss at this busy time of year.
It has been a long night. Hours of research, re-design and still so much left to do.
There has been a mysterious, unauthorized pop-up ad that suddenly appeared two nights ago. We have done everything we could possibly think of to try and locate it's source.
Has anyone been experiencing this lately? They are not small ads either. These ads take up both sides of the site, or just the right, covering our subscription bar at the bottom of the screen. It is frustrating and daunting.
Good thing for this cake. After a night like we had, it is nice to wake up to a slice of this with coffee. We are all set and ready to tackle the new day!
You may have also noticed our new look. Welcome to Foodie Pro. It is just fantastic! You will notice some new features and aspects added to the theme this week.
Not to worry though, this is just to make your viewability easier and more enjoyable.

I love apple cakes, Catherine. That sweet cinnamony topping sounds extremely delicious.
I don't install any pop-up ad on my blog, nor did I see any on yours, at least not now.
Louise says
Hi Catherine,
Love the new theme. I haven't seen any pop-ups either. I think it may have been Alida who was having a problem with pop-ups but they were taking visitors to a new page. After I cleaned out my cache as she suggested, all was good.
Of course waking up to a delicious chunky apple cake is good too. I've been trying to slim down the apple pickin's around here too. I better save this, there are still more apples to cook!!! (I've been freezing them with much success also:)
Thanks for sharing, Catherine...
Comedy Plus says

Dear Catherine,
Just wanted to say that this site is much better. You can see things clearer than the black background and yes, I was getting a lot of large popups. So this seems to be better. Thank you. Now as far as the "Apple Chunk Breakfast Cake" Wow! I love it, for breakfast or anytime. Beautiful and yummy I am sure. I especially love the top. Crunchy outside and smooth on the inside. A wonderful way to use up extra apples. Which I have in my house, so I may just try this one. But you had me when I saw the raisins in the ingredients. I love raisins in apple anything. My family does not like raisins with apples, so I do not add it in my ingredients. Thank you for sharing this very inviting cake! Have a blessed week!
Dottie 🙂

heather @french press says
I would have LOVED waking up to this cake today 🙂
Mary Bellebuono says
Oh my gosh, this looks so awesome, is there something else i can add besides the alcohol?
We do not have any alcohol here because of some abuse from a family member.
So many recipe's i see today have some sort of alcohol and i cannot see buying just for such a small amount being used. Maybe orange juice would work.Thank you for the awesome recipe and i will keep this one on file.
Terri/Love and Confections says
