The discovery of the Apple Strudel Cake

How the Naughty and Nice Apple Strudel Cake was invented!

A friend of mine was handing in her academic essays to school for which I said I would make her a cake to celebrate the occasion of achievement (yes the famous ‘handing in essays cake’).

I told her she could have ANY cake she wanted if she completed her essays, to which she requested a ‘Vegan Apple Strudel Cake’. I pondered for a good while… OK if i’m totally honest I initially thought to myself ‘what the!?*! is that?!’ I wondered if she was setting me up with a trick or being difficult but then thought, since she was from the US, that it must be a common recipe there. So I searched extensively for recipes finding only those for the more common apple strudel pastries! Then I had a brainwave and began thriving with the challenge of a new creation: why couldn’t I create my own recipe, based on those I had found for the pastries!

…. And so the Apple Strudel Cake and Cupcakes (see Our Gallery) were born.

Instead of pastry I decided to create a spicy apple sponge. Instead of the cream cheese being wrapped in the pastry I substituted a good vegan alternative to cream cheese and sandwiched it in between the sponge. For the top of the cake I followed the signature sprinkling of apples, nuts, spices and brown sugar.

When I presented her with the cake she almost ran away! A combination of surprise, shock and disbelief. She ate it quietly at first then blurted out that it was the best cake she had ever eaten. She later admitted that she was in fact being difficult but that it was the cake that she had always dreamed to eat.

A success story for Naughty and Nice Cakes and a great collaboration. Do you have any dream/fantasy cakes that you would like to eat? If so why not get in touch with us for the challenge that we would surely love to accept!
