I chose this cake for it's simplicity and the name. It tasted great. I substituted 1 cup of white flour to wheat. The cake was pretty, light, crunchy and GREAT!! I made it for a party and served it with whipped cream. Delicious!!

This cake is delicious. I would not call it ugly, but maybe "Apple Unadorned Cake" would be a better name. It could use a strudel or a glaze to "pretty" it up, but it tastes fabulous without. I too added the one cup of milk - I wonder if the cake would be uglier if baked without it? The batter was just WAY too dry, and I couldn't bring myself to cut up all those apples for a dry, lumpy cake. My husband said this one tasted like a quick bread, and wanted to either put butter or cream cheese frosting on it. I'm bringing it to a brunch tomorrow, but we sampled a piece each, and we agree - this one's a keeper. Thanks! Edited to add: I made this the first two times with canola oil, and it was fabulous. When I made it with veggie oil, it had a really strong "oil" taste to it - I ended up throwing a lot of it away.

This has been the most popular thing I've made and the thing I'm asked to repeat most often. Moist and tasty.

I took another reviewer's advice and added a cup of liquid (milk) to the batter. The top was deliciously crunchy/chewy. I don't even like raisins, but I LOVED them in this cake! I might try it with dried cranberries instead of raisins next time. That sounds like it'd be nice and tangy.

Taste so good, like those you buy in high-end cafes. Do add 1 cup of milk, as recommended by one reviewer. I reduced the sugar to 1 1/4 cup and the sweetness is just right. The cake is not ugly!

I decided to cut the calories on this recipe when I made it. I used Splenda for 1/2 of the sugar and unsweetened applesauce for 1/2 of the oil. Both worked great! I also added in an extra cup of apples and added the 1 cup of (skim) milk, as others had suggested. A very moist cake and the chunks of apples almost make it seem like an Apple Pie-Cake. The chunks of apple make this recipe different then most apple cake recipes. Yummy! I keep this cake in the fridge.

Very good. I'm going to use less oil the next time...it was a little too oily for my taste.

This cake was very easy to make. I was surprised to see how stiff the batter was and had to really work to incorporate the diced apples. I topped the cake with the cup of apples that I did not put in the batter. I did not put in the raisins, but will the next time I make this. I had crumb topping from a previous recipe which I used to covered the cake. My cake wasn't ugly at all!!
