For Apple Cake, Make It Good and Sweet!

Valli Järve has been a consistent participant in the Türi Apple Festival's apple cake competition since 2010, submitting a total of twelve cakes. She draws inspiration from old women's magazines, adapting their recipes to her own style.

"I am a third-generation cook, my grandmother especially loved cooking, she even did it for the manor folk. Although I don't remember much about her, I am somehow drawn to using and adapting recipes found in old women's magazines," Järve shared.

One of her most successful creations is an apple and quark cake, which won first place in the competition and is a personal favorite, both for her own consumption and for orders. Järve emphasizes the simplicity of this cake, which she calls the "Türi Apple Cake."

"It's easier than easy, and anyone can make it," she stated. "You only need apples, quark, flour, and eggs, and a good mood when mixing them and a joyful spirit while waiting for the apple cake to bake in the oven."
