Wonderful cake for autumn! For those that didn't think it was "appley" enough, perhaps it would help using baking apples. I mixed a couple of golden delicious with a couple of cortlands. I also cut the oil to 1/2 cup and next time I will use half of the sugar. I topped it with caramel ice cream topping. WONDERFUL!

Made this in a bundt pan. Used 1/2 oil, 1/2 applesauce, didn't bother with icing. Added 2 tablespoons Capt Morgan Spiced Rum to chopped apples. let them sit while preparing other ingredients.Good stuff. Tasty cake. Batter definitely needs to spooned into well greased pan.

This cake is awesome!! Every time I make it I get so many compliments. My only issue has been that since the batter is incredibly thick before putting in the apples, the egg beater doesn't work very well. In fact, I've actually broken my egg beater from trying to mix this batter. Once you stir in the apples it thins out the batter again so you are able to pour it into the pan.

Excellent recipe. Add a little extra flour if dough is way too sticky. A recipe that family will request again and AGAIN! Incredible flavor. Made a cream cheese glaze, a little lighter to go with dense cake.

I made this yesterday and it's gone today. Yummy! I glazed it with a simple sauce. 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1/8 cup cream, boiled for about three minutes and then drizzled on top of the warm cake. I'll try the cream cheese icing next time.

Great cake and easy to make with ingredients most have on hand. It is moist and nice for a fall or German themed party Here are a couple tips: Use Granny smith apples-many reviewers said it was a little sweet so this tart apple does the trick. It definately need the full baking time or a couple minutes more. I also might pulse the apples in the food processor next time so they blend into the batter more. I would use just 4 medium apples-don`t worry about measuring out 4 cups. I little freshly grated nutmeg is a nice addition as well.

The day I made this, it was very good. The next day, it was OUTSTANDING! The only change I made was substituting cake flour for all-purpose. I followed another suggestion about pulsing the apples into smaller pieces - great idea! My boyfriend loved it so much it's his new favorite cake.

I made this cake for a German theme party and have been making it ever since. It's wonderful. The only changes I made is I use two apples instead of four to give it more of a "cakey" taste. I also double the recipe for the frosting since.
