Rustic Apple Top Cake
This is another one of my rustic cakes that can be enjoyed for breakfast or as a dessert and best of all it can be put together quickly with just a whisk. You could vary the fruit depending on your preference and use peaches, pears or plums, although I love to use apples in my version. I sprinkle the top with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, but you could also leave it plain and dust the top with icing sugar after it cools.
Buon Appetito!

Hello, could I use plain flour in this recipe instead of cake flour?
It should be fine.
