Here is how to make Croatian kuglof with apples. This apple bundt cake recipe is so easy. It’s a one-bowl, one pan kind of deal!
This kind of cake is made all of the globe, known under dozens of names – but they all taste great and even better – they are all so easy to make. I am not a baker, I don’t love cooking very much – I love eating, but this cake is one exception.
Because it’s so easy and can be made in one bowl, using simple ingredients, and requires no complicated steps. My mother-in-law Zora makes this recipe without even looking at a recipe, but I pinned her down so she’d give me the recipe so I could make this for my kids.
Note: This cake dries fast, so it’s best eaten the day you make it. Which, in my house, is no problem!
