I brought this cake into a class for "food day" and everyone loved it, People wanted seconds, and one person ripped the bread bag I had over the plate, to steal my last piece!

I made this last night and served it warm to a group of friends. It was well received, and one of the ladies said she didn't care much for cinnamon- and this was the perfect amount. I'm not giving it 5 starts simply because I feel that it needs MORE cinnamon. I could barely taste it. I'm not quite sure if I'll make it again - but if I do I'll definitely increase the cinnamon. Also - don't forget to flour the pan (like I did) otherwise the cake won't come out in one piece!

This recipe was great! I made cupcakes instead of a whole cake, which only took 25 minutes to bake, but followed the recipe exactly otherwise. Soo good!

Wow, this is tasty. I used 1 cup of white sugar and 1/3 cup of brown sugar, I used 1/3 cup of milk and 1/3 cup of applesauce, I upped the cinnamon to 1 tbsp, I used 1/2 tsp of salt, and I used butter instead of shortening. I did not glaze it and it was delicious as it was as we don't like things too sugary, but I'm sure a glaze would have made it even better for most people. I only needed to bake this for 35 mins. This is a keeper.

Cake was very dense, should have read reviews and added more cinnamon, recipe a little light on cinnamon for a cinnamon cake. ,The cake did not rise very much and was on the dry side, the glaze helped. Also the glaze would have been better if it was all melted butter and no water.

DIDN'T CHANGE A THING, PERFECT AS IT IS!!!! What a great treat! Easy and uses basic ingredients. I did add butterscotch chips as one person suggested which was extra yummy but it's good without it too! Thanks for the recipe!

As many reviewers suggested, I used butter instead of shortening and also added extra cinnamon. I also tried using milk instead of water in the sauce, but it was still way too watery so I dumped that batch and tried it again with just the sugar, butter, vanilla, and cinnamon (again, I went heavy on the cinnamon). Served warm with ice cream, it was really good -- not dry at all. I will most likely make this again.
