Fall is the perfect season to head out to an apple orchard and spend some time picking your very own bushel of apples. If you want to create a cake that not only tastes like apples but also looks like an apple orchard then this recipe by food blog Table Spoon is perfect for you.
To make this cake begin by adding apple chunks covered in cinnamon to a traditional box of vanilla pound cake. Bake the cake in a rectangular baking dish and once it's done, cover it in a layer of green icing. You can add green pipping detailing to replicate the look of grass if you'd like. Then use melted chocolate and Rice Krispies cereal to mold an edible tree and cover it with a layer of chocolate for bark. Add green colored popcorn to replicate the look of leaves and red cherry candies to represent the apples. Decorate the cake and enjoy!
