I usually love sweets but this one is way too sweet. All I can taste is the sugar. It hurt my teeth and gave my a stomach ache. The cake is also heavy like a pound cake and not light. Sorry I won't make it again.

This is a great cake! I followed the recipe exactly, except I added 2 tsp. cinn. That's it. The 1st day, it WAS a little oily, but after that, it kept the cake quite moist; it didn't become a dry cake. Next time, I'll try suggestions of applesauce/oil, but if I don't have applesauce on hand, I'll make it again w/just the oil. The icing is AWESOME!! Everyone I shared this cake with commented on how delicious the icing was. I would not make it w/out doing the icing because it gives it that special, unique, homemade touch.

This cake was delicious and easy to make. I served it at a dinner party this past week and my friends loved it. Plus, I only had to purchase the apples and walnuts. This is a great recipe if you're on a limited budget and a tight schedule!

I tried this recipe today and it turned out to be very good. The only problem I had was that it was too sweet for my liking. I only put in 1 cup of white sugar, had I put in 2, I'm not sure I could have eaten as much. Also, instead of oil, I put in some apple sauce because I had some on hand that I wanted to use up.

Everyone loved this. Followed suggestions including substituting 1/2 c. applesauce for some of the oil, adding 1 T cinnamon to the batter and tossing the apples with some cinnamon and nutmeg before adding.

This cake...well takes the cake! Of course, I can never leave a recipe alone...so I decided to I used 2 large honeycrisp apples, and added 1 tsp cinnamon, as well as a jigger of rum. For the glaze, I also added a half jigger of rum and an 1/8 tsp cornstarch. :-) Fun recipe to experiment with!

This is so yummy! The only change I made was to add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to the batter. Don't worry about how thick the batter is...Just follow the recipe and you won't be sorry! :)
