This is a true one-bowl cake – quick and easy. Calls for oil instead of butter and doesn’t need frosting.

This whole wheat apple cake with chocolate chips makes a delicious snack cake. |
This is my son’s new favourite snack food. Moist and flavourful, it’s the sort of cake that sits somewhere between a muffin and a cake.
Don’t get me wrong — it is most definitely a cake.
Apple, chocolate chips and walnuts are a great combination. I guess that’s why it’s so satisfying. So many flavours and textures.
