Last Wednesday morning I woke up and realized that I had to make this whole cake, plus photograph it, all in one day. See the reason I had to do this on that Wednesday was because on Thursday morning we left for Steve’s sisters wedding. We weren’t going to get back until late Sunday night, which leaves no time to bake the cake. For some reason I totally misplaced the time and thought I had more of it. But I didn’t. So I woke up Wednesday morning and made this complete cake – all 6 components of it.
I made the Brown Butter Cake, Liquid Cheesecake, Pie Crumbs, Apple Cider Soak, Apple Filling, and Pie Crumb Frosting, all within a few hours. Then I assembled the cake, let it chill for a couple hours (your supposed to freeze it for 12 hours but of course I couldn’t wait), and then photographed it. And because I needed to reward myself, I ate a big piece of this Apple Pie Layer Cake.
Wow! That’s all I’ve got to say about this cake. Wow! It was incredible. It was sweet, salty, buttery, crumbly, soft, rich, and smooth – Seriously, it really hit every flavor and texture perfectly.
This recipe was chosen by Nicole of Sweet Peony for Milk Bar Mondays {where we bake our way through the Momofuku Milk Bar Cookbook}. Head on over to her blog to view the recipe of this wonderful Apple Pie Layer Cake.
