Introduction

It was my mom's birthday and I totally forgot to bake a cake. I had no idea what to do when in my spare time, I searched for an easy-to-bake cake recipe. I found the perfect on online, and added a few twists to it. With my few twists in the recipe, the perfect birthday cake was made. It had to be eggless because certain people at home don't eat eggs.

Since the cake seemed too plain, I decided to make apple compote to serve on top, like icing. It was healthy and perfect.
