Good flavor, but much too oily. I followed the recipe exactly. Will make again, but next time will cut the oil at least by half.

We enjoyed this very much and ate every last bit of it, but decided we like my orignal apple cake recipe from my good old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. Gonna have to stick with that recipe.....

REALLY GOOD! The only difference to the actual recipe that I made was that I used 1 1/2 cups of sugar instead of 2 and I used corn oil instead of vegetable oil. I also poured the batter into a tube pan instead of a 9x13 dish, and baked it for 1 hour 15 min. Other than that, I left it just the same and will definitely make it again, hopefully soon :-)

This cake is delicious. I cut down on the oil to 1 C. and only baked it 1 hour and it was done. I was surprised that none of the reviews mentioned how long it was to be in the oven. I served it, dusted with powdered sugar, to my book group and everyone loved it. It was very moist and flavorful. Tonight I baked it again using those same changes and I also used Craisins as I was out of raisins. I'm sure that will taste great also.

Very average, nobody could really taste the apple, just a generic somewhat fruity sweetness.. It was also very dense, probably because of all the oil? maybe i should have substituted some of the oil with applesauce. The only change i did was to cut down some sugar, to about 140g and the sweetness was just nice. This tastes better when chilled though, and goes well with a cream cheese frosting, to give it a slightly more complex flavour.

It was good, but not exceptional. I won't be making it again.

Wonderful cake! I substituted butter for oil. Perfect. It looks dry and crumbly as your mixing the ingredients, but don't fret...it comes out light and perfect.

Excellent, I didn't change anything, the suggested milk isn't really necessary in my opinion, since the apples do give a lot of moisture while baking. I sprinkled around half a cup of sliced almonds on top before baking, made the ugly cake into a prettier cake. Had 4 granny apples in the fridge which weren't all that fresh anymore. The people loved this cake.

I make this cake often, exactly as it is here. It is delicious. I get tons of compliments, so thanks whoever posted this! The apples have so much water in them that it cooks out into the batter and makes something I can only describe as an apple spice cake with the moisture of a brownie. My friend HATES cake but he loves this.
