AP Cake image

AP Cake is a Pennsylvania Dutch breakfast delicacy. One of the stories on its origins is that a baker, Ann Page, used to "carve" her initials on top of the heavy batter before baking. This recipe appeared in the East Penn Valley Merchandiser several weeks ago and tastes like the cakes you buy at the bakery.

1/2 tsp salt
1 c buttermilk or sour milk, room temperature

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not a fan of AP cakes, but this one was actually pretty good. The cake was moist and the frosting was light and fluffy.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a gluten-free flour blend and it still came out perfect. My family loved it.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting next time.
