BISCOFF APPLE CAKE by Viv's Home Cooking
If the biscuit you get with your fancy coffee excites you as much as the coffee, then this apple cake is for you. It uses the new Lotus spread that is now available in many retailers to enliven an apple madeira type cake. she has made it as non-caloric as possible but if you want to use real butter or sugar instead of sweetener, work away. Our favourite chef Viv has her finger on the pulse as usual, knowing a hot food trend when she sees it!
One of our favourite sources of healthy, easy recipes that are full of flavour is vivs_home_cooking aka Viviane McCarthy (CHECK OUT HER INSTAGRAM PAGE!).
