Apple Cake

I stumbled across this apple cake as I was wandering through the internet last week. Something about it spoke to me and I immediately started peeling and dicing apples. The dark rum makes this cake special, giving it a roundness and depth of flavor that made the most of my apples. I used avocado oil instead of butter and added a dash of cinnamon and cardamom to play up the rum. The cake was moist and rich without being heavy. It was a hit and nobody guessed that dark rum was the secret ingredient, they just happily devoured every crumb.
