Cinnamon Sugar Coated Maple Apple Cakes

I had been longing for a comforting cinnamon flavored earthy bite of a cake from past few days. As I hadn’t baked cakes in past few days. I made rather healthier stuff like soups, breads and granola {will write about granola soon}. So I had been craving for the dessert. And with winters on, the desire grew all the more strong. Right when I had been thinking of baking a cake on weekend, I got to know that I have to travel to London for work. I was excited to go but I was sad to know that I’ll be away from baking from next three weeks.

So, I thought of baking the cakes before I leave. Despite having almost no time left for baking, I somehow managed to pull these up in a very short time. I got up pretty early in the morning, may be the clock was ticking 5 o’clock. I whipped the batter quickly and baked them in a hurry.

They came out wonderfully moist and amazingly flavored. The extra coat of cinnamon sugar made them perfect to suit winter and the coming holiday season. I took these shots hurriedly when the light was really low, which rather helped setting the mood right. Cold winter days with very little sunshine. A glass of hot simmering coffee is all that I needed to pair with them.
