Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting - Well, I have never tasted anything like this. Luckily for me and my family I stumbled across a blog called Note Songs by Shelia (http://notesongs.blogspot.com) and just had to try a recipe that she had posted for the above dessert. I served it at a family dinner and when company had left I proceeded to finish the cake. I have NEVER done that in my life. It was to die for. Well, I raise an eyebrow to that saying but it was worth another 1 hour walk with my dog the next day. Thanks Shelia for sharing this recipe. It has been added to my 'Favorite Recipes' book.
