This is a sort of pound cake that is really moist!
This red cabbage recipe features the pleasant crunch of coarsely chopped walnuts while the apples provide the sweetness. Unlike the recipe suggests, the cake does not taste like red cabbage as we know it but has a cinnamon-sweet flavour. Together with the apples, the red cabbage ensures an incredibly moist result.
The sweet cream cheese frosting creates a charming contrast to the colour and texture of the cake, rounding off the flavours. Make sure you have all the ingredients at room temperature when preparing the frosting; it will be easier to blend them together well. It is easiest to spread if chilled for an hour after mixing. Since the frosting has a high proportion of cream cheese, it has a lovely light, fresh flavour.
