Thank you for such an excellent recipe. Loved it and my family can not wait until the next one. We have an abundance of apples here in Denmark this year, so I will be making this cake again.

This recipe is a favorite of my family. But instead of oil I used butter, 1 cup white and 1 cup brown sugar double the cinnamon and put in 3 tablespoons of milk. much lighter in color and taste. P.S. make your own frosting bacause the one at the store was a little too sweet but good all the same

Really, really good. I left out the raisins and nuts and frosted with my own homemade cream cheese frosting. Yum!

Easy to make and tastes good. Might consider making them as muffins instead next time.

It is awesome!!! I made a few changes--I increased the cinnamon to 1 tsp, added an extra cup of apples and I added 1/8 tsp cloves. I also used my own cream cheese glaze. I will make it again and again.

This is a wonderful recipe. The cake is moist, flavorful and simple to do. It give the aroma and taste of the holiday season and people will think you spent hours making it. A must try for anyone who loves apple cake.

Like previous reviews, I cut oil down to 1C and used 1/2 C of apple sauce. I used a bundt pan and drizzled cream cheese frosting on top. I also omitted the walnuts and used chopped pecans on top....It was excellent and the presentation was amazing!

This was a very good recipe. As others suggested, I made a few changes: I used only 1 cup of oil and substituted 1/2 cup applesauce in for the missing oil. I didn't put in walnuts, raisins, or nutmeg, because I don't care for them. I baked it in a Bundt cake pan- it only took 1 hour to bake, not 1 1/2 hrs in that pan- so watch your cake while it is baking. I didn't put on any frosting either. Altogether- a wonderful cake. It was not complicated to make, it baked up well, and it tasted good when done.

Excellent! just like my grandma's recipe, which I couldn't find. I did cut back on the oil about 1/4 cup and replaced it with applesauce. I also made it in a 9x13 pan so I didn't need to cook it as long...only about an hour. Thanks for the great recipe!

Excellent Recipe!! Made a few alterations: I soaked the raisens in Rum, and then removed the raisens, added a 1/4 a cup of brown sugar and 1 tbl of cinnamon sugar. Cooked it over the stove for about 5 minutes till thick. Then poured the sauce over the apples and the raisens and let them soak while I made the cake batter. I also put a crumb topping on the top of the cake! Turned out wonderful!!! Light and moist!! Delicious!

Wonderful cake! I made a few adjustments - cut oil to 1 cup, added 1/2 cup applesauce and cut sugar to 1 1/4 cup - and it turned out very moist and flavorful. I also used egg substitute and skipped the frosting. Cake was even better the next day.

This cake is delicious; however, it is not the easiest to make. Lots of work invloved. It is well worth the effort and hopefully my boyfriend knows how hard I had to work. He loves it. This cake helps you to appreciate box cake mix and high wattage mixers. Great Recipe. I will make it for years to come.

I apoligize in advance, because I truly don't enjoy giving recipes a bad rating and fortunately in the past, I haven't had a reason to do so. However, as soon as this dough was completed I told my husband that it had an odd odor but refrained from telling him what I felt it smelled like, only because I wanted to give the cake a chance to bake. When it was almost done, I put in the cake tester, took a sniff and realized that the baking time had not improved the aroma. I took the cake tester to my husband and asked him to tell me what it smelled like and it was as if he had read my mind. Again, I apolize, but it smells and unfortunately tastes like, well, I hate to say it, but like Playdough. Maybe it's all the oil, I don't know, but I know I'll never make this cake again. So sorry....really:)!
