CAST-IRON APPLE NUTMEG COFFEE CAKE

Cast-Iron Apple Nutmeg Coffee Cake image

I'm not a great baker, but I do love coffee. In an effort to practice my baking, I use up the morning's last bit of coffee to make this cake-literally. It is super moist and crumbly, and tastes like you dunked your cake right into a cup of hot joe. - Darla Andrews, Schertz, Texas
