Fresh Apple Cake
This is one of the most appetizing cakes I have ever eaten/made. It is so easy to stir together & contains most ingredients people would have on hand. I made this cake this past Sunday & it is still fresh. I will make again, due to the fact that my Grands loved it.

YUMMY!
I made this cake last night and it was SO good. To me it isn't really cake-like but it makes a wonderful snack. I feel good about giving this as a snack to my 8 year old, and she loves it!

It's a hit!
This 'cake' doesn't last more than one day at work. I substitute Splenda for the sugar, apple sauce for the oil and use all whole wheat flour. I have also served a side of carmel topping with it in case people needed more sweet. This cake was even requested for our family Christmas potluck!

Yummy
This cake is delicious. I took the advice of another reviewer and added 1/2 cup raisins. I omitted walnuts so my 15 month old could have some. It is really delicious.

Apple Cake
This cake went over well at a work potluck. I followed the recipe exactly and checked on the cake after about 30 min in the oven and it was already done! I drizzled some caramel apple dip on top too. Yummy!

Apple Cake
This recipe lacks flavor and texture. I made this according to directions and it was almost flavorless and much too heavy. I would not make this again nor recommend it to others.

Yummy
This cake was delicious and moist. I used egg substitute in place of the eggs but otherwise I left it as is. Next time I may substitute apple sauce for half the oil. Yummy treat for a fall day!

Great cake
I made this for my family, they all loved it. I put plastic wrap over it and noticed it was even more moist 2 days later.

Soooo good!
This recipe rocks!! Easy to make, and so yummy. I made icing, and it wasn't needed. This cake would have been better with out it.

Great tasting cake!
my family just loves this cake. Instead of half white flour, I use all white whole wheat flour, and my family doesn't notice the difference. I also add raisins for extra flavor and fiber. I make this at least a few times a month.

Fresh Apple Cake
This recipe is easy to make and delicious. I have made it a couple of times and the response has been great. Everyone loved the moistness and that the cake was not "too" sweet. I plan on bringing it to a church potluck this weekend.

What's even better about this recipe is that you can substitute applesauce for oil and reduce the fat and add even more nutrients!

Wouldn't change a thing
Made this recipe for the first time and it was an instant success. I was able to put it together without going to the store and the cooking time was accurate. Cake very moist and tasty. I would ask that the folks that this cake makes 20 servings define what are the dimensions of a serving. Other than that, it was an excellent recipe.
