Very moist cake. I decreased the sugar by 1/4 cup each and only added 5 apples chopped very tiny. I did not cook for the entire 60 minutes....I also added 'Caramel Frosting I'. It was very good and I would make it again.

Great cake! It dissappeard in a day at my house. The only thing I would suggest is make sure there are no apple chunks - make sure it's just grated bits. I found the little chunks that I threw in mushy.

This cake is delish! So moist! I only made 1/2 the recipe and put it in a small bundt pan. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour, cut out the brown sugar and used only 1/2 cup of white sugar. It was very sweet with only 1/2 the sugar, I would never use the full amount of sugar. I did not shred the apples, just left them sliced. It was great, I will definitely make it again!

Yummy. I used 9 apples. 2 of the apples I chopped up while I grated the rest. I did strain the grated apples to remove some of the excess moisture. I did cut the white sugar to 1/2 cup, added 1/2 t nutmeg, and made a carmel icing to put over the cake. The flavor was good.

I just made this and was pleased with the result. I always like to follow a recipe precisely as listed the first time I make it, so I did shred all of the apples. I wish I had chopped half of them instead- the shredded ones kind of melt into the cake (maybe a firmer apple would have worked better? I used Macouns). Also, I think you definitely need to drain the apples- after reading the last review, I did drain mine and the cake was still super moist. The flavor was great and everyone loved it- I dusted it with confectioner's sugar but agree that a caramel icing would be ideal. A great fall treat!

Very yummy! It takes a long time to peel, core, and grate all those apples, but this is such a good cake, it's worth it. It's super moist and has excellent flavor. I did not have any problems with soggy cake as other reviewers mentioned. I made sure to fold in the apple really well and distribute it evenly throughout the batter. I think that helped.

UGH! So I did as suggested by everyone (shred half, chop half). A quarter of my cake is totally soggy while the rest is fine. When shredding the apples, maybe they should be drained? I am totally disappointed in how this cake turned out...it was supposed to be a 'welcome to the office' thing - but it can't be served.

This was very moist, and excellent with the caramel frosting. Note: The caramel frosting doesn't last as long as the cake.

I didn't have a bundt pan on hand, so I baked this in two glass dishes instead. Because of the pan substitution, I should have reduced the temp to 300, as the cake browned before it cooked all the way. I also grated all the apples, but will rough chop half next time I make it, so there is more texture (was very similar to carrot cake, as one reviewer wrote) to the end result.

This was a wonderful cake. I decreased the amounts of both sugars by 1/4 cup and added a little extra cinnamon and also nutmeg. I did use the called for amount of apples but roungh chopped the last 2. Definitly will be made again and soon.

Wow, I'm wondering if I did something wrong here, because everyone else is raving! Mine was moist to the point of mushiness. It tasted good, but was more like a bread pudding. I put it back in the pan (an adventure in itself!) and baked it a little longer to dry it out a little last night, but this morning it appeared to be mushy again! I'll have to try a piece when I get home from work.

This was fantastic! I made it for my father-in-law's birthday and it went over very well. Got lots of compliments that it was such a wonderful fall dessert! I added 1 cup of chopped walnuts and added a 1/2 cup of Craisins. I glazed it with Caramel Frosting I by MaryKaye (tripling the butter, milk and brown sugar in that recipe) and it was awesome! Can't wait to make it again.

This was good and very moist, but tasted a lot like zuccini breads that I've had. I guess I was expecting something more. I think some chopped walnuts in the cake and the addition of a glaze over the top would make this 5 stars

I made this cake for a friend's 30th birthday. It's delicious! I added more cinnamon and nutmeg, chopped 2 of the apples because my hand was tired of shredding, used whole wheat flour and added about a cup of chopped walnuts. I topped it with Caramel Frosting VI from this site, and then made fall leaves out of gum paste, and sprinkled them all over the cake before the frosting set. The cake was moist and dense. People kept sneaking "just a little bit more" all night long, and one person hid a piece so he could have some on his flight home.

Delicious! Very moist. It's easy to make. I think this cake would also taste good with some chopped walnuts. I'm going to try that next time. It's a great cake as is though.
