What a GEM of a recipe ...Thanks eagles1955 Beware this makes 2 loaf pans NOT 3 as stated. Made a few minor changes, added 1/4 tsp ground cloves and 1/3 each chopped pecans and raisins, the loaves came out perfect in evey way, very moist and tasty ... If you like this recipe try Country Banana Bread from this site. It uses a yellow cake mix as a base also

I really like the use of the loaf pans, one cake for now and one for the freezer. Definitely use two not three loaf pans. I topped the cakes with a lemon iceing that added a lot of flavor. I also used apple juice instead of water. I will make this cake again using a spice cake mix and using less spices.

Glad I read the reviews before I made this, definitely use only 2 loaf pans. I added the suggested raisins & walnuts, & added 1/4 tsp each cloves & ginger, yummy! Easy, nice & moist. Next time I would add a topping, perhaps some a drizzled butter, cinnamon, sugar mix.

Unfortunately, I believed the instuctions and made it into 3 loaves. This resulted in a very dry cake (after only 40 minutes of cooking time!) I found it very bland and tasteless. Wish these recipes could be tested before being printed.

I made this over Mother's Day weekend for six people as well as my house every one loved it. It was a very moist cake. I tried some of the suggestions from other reviews, I used the butter, cinnamon & sugar for a glaze as well as sugar, water & cinnamon I also used apple juice instead of water. I will be making this again. I used 2 pans not three worked great.

Oh my goodness this was probably the best cake I have ever eaten! My family is extremely picky and cautious about trying new things, but they loved it. I would suggest serving it with vanilla frozen yogurt on the side.

Moist and yummy! I followed another review and used apple juice instead of water. Also added some raisins and walnuts. I didn't have to loaf pans so I divided the batter between one loaf pan and a mini bundt pan. The little cakes are so cute, and still yummy!

This is SO good. As mentioned previously, go with 2 loaf pans instead of 3. The end result is a moist cake with a great spicy apple taste. It reminds me of apple cider. Great recipe.
