I thought it would never happen... but it did... This is the first recipe that I've tried from this site that was bad. VERY, VERY greasy. Topping is too sweet for the flavours (or lack thereof) of the cake. I should have listened to my instincts when I realized that the only liquid in the cake came from the oil. This is the first (and hopefully last) disaster that I've created from Allrecipes.

I was so dissapointed in the topping for this cake. It was watery and made my cake kinda soggy. Everyone ate it and enjoyed it with icecream, but they didn't know that I poured a whole stick of melted butter on top! I think that this cake is worthy of trying again, with a streusel-like topping. I added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the cake, and an extra 1/2 cup of apples.

Great cake, but eat it fast as it doesn't keep well for more than a day or two. I followed the recipe as written, but only used about half of the topping and that was plenty.

I followed this recipe verbatim- soo good! Wow, such a moist cake, and the glaze! My god it disappeared in a flash. **Off topic, but I didn't bother reading as many reviews as I usually do because everyone gave tips on cutting the calories by replacing this with that. This is a recipe for a CAKE. Just make it as written, and share it with 9 people so you don't eat the whole thing yourself. ;)** Thanks Deb~ this is a keeper!

To die for! The first time I made it I followed recipe exactly and it was delicious. The second time I used 3/4 cup applesauce and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to cut back the fat and added two teaspoons of cinnamon. It was just as good!

The cake was WAY too sweet....must have with ice cream or something to cut the sugar. Maybe use applesauce instead of so much sugar?

I didn't use any oil- I used half unsweetened applesauce and half homemade apple butter instead. This cut out lots of fat and added tons of flavor. The spices from the apple butter add a delicious touch. Thank you for the recipe!

This was a quick and easy recipe. The only change I made to the instructions was to add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients. It was easy as can be to assemble and glaze. We ate slices while it was still warm and this is definitely the way to go. This cake is fantastic warm. However, it does not sit well. Probably due to the large amount of vegetable oil in the recipe it gets oily and greasy after sitting overnight. The leftovers were not particularly appealing. But if you're baking this to be eaten the same day, it's a slam dunk.

I'm not much of a baker, in fact this was my first "real" baking experiment (from scratch that is) and I thought I'd try making this, turns out we had guests coming and they could smell it so I served some up for them. My uncle said it reminded him of a cake he'd had in Holland years ago. I'm so proud of myself, it was actually very good. I made a few change as some reviewers suggested, 2 cups of whole wheat flour and one all purpose. I used applesauce instead of the oil and reduced the sugar on the glaze, delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

This cake was amazing! I had fresh picked honeycrisp apples and I wanted to use them to make something other then the old fall stand-by,apple crisp, this recipe really delivered. We had my fiance's parents over for his "last" dinner ( he was deployed on 10/01) so I wanted to make a really special dessert that he'd love. I thought at first that I made too much glaze, but it was just the right amount. This recipe is a keeper!! The cake only made it 2 days, we had it for breakfast it was that good!!

Great recipe! This was the 1st made from scratch cake I've ever tried, can't believe it was so easy & really didn't take that long. I did have on hand some bananas that needed to be ate (3) so I added those. As for the glaze, I didn't have but the 1/4 cp of brown sugar-so I mixed cinnimon sugar & reg. sugar to make up for the other cp. Not bad for a 1st time try-thank you for the inspiration!!-my boyfriend loved it!

Awesome! I took the suggestions of others and only used 3/4 cup of oil and 1/2 cup of applesauce - this worked fine. I used a combo of granny smith and macintosh apples and added about 1 t. of cinnamon on top. I poked fork holes in the cake and added the warm glaze to the top so that some of the glaze seeped into the cake. The glaze really is what sets this cake apart from others. Good enough to serve for the holidays.

Made this cake yesterday & adjusted the sugar amt. as per reviews. Cake is a winner. The glaze was wonderful. But...besides adding cinnamon, next time I will add raisins & chopped dates. This cake is party worthy.

This cake was so easy to make and turned out excellent. I am using a toaster oven so I couldn't fit the pan size required in. However, I had enough batter to make 3 smaller cakes. I froze 2 of them. I will be making this again and again. Good for unexpected company.
