I didn't account for rising very well, but I have to say the the crunchy parts over the side of my pan were the best! Wonderful even a couple days afterward. Held moisture very well.

I have made this cake twice already now. This is a very good applesauce cake recipe, especially if you like cloves. Next time I will reduce the cloves to 1/2 tsp., and add 1 tsp. of nutmeg to the mixture. One of the best applesauce cake recipes I have ever used!!

Very good, moist, flavorful. I am a spice cake afficionado so I followed the directions as written and am well pleased with the flavor and aroma. I like the addition of the dates; it's a unique twist on applesauce cake. The frosting is perfect for this cake. Thank you submitter for this truly delightful recipe!

Really good. Flavorful and moist. I made three dozen cupcakes w/ this recipe. The only change I made was to use 2 cups white flour, 1 cup whole wheat graham flour ad 1/2 cup oats.

My Grandmother is famous for her Applesauce cake, but at 96 doesn't remember all of her recipe, I found this one for my Dad and it is the cake! We don't use the glaze at the end, but the cake is just as we all remember...FANTASTIC!! Thanks for sharing, you have made my Dad a very happy guy!

Wonderful! I used craisens instead of raisens and then pecans instead of walnuts. I baked it at 325 for 1 hr. 10 minutes. I also reduced the cloves to 1/2 tsp., otherwise it would be too overpowering. My family LOVED this recipe and the frosting was wonderful with it. This is a LARGE cake. We all had some and plenty for everyone to take home for treats later. Family Favorite!

very yummy-but too much clove taste for me. when I make this again I will cut the clove to 1/4 tsp. Very moist and really does make the whole house smell great. :)

I made this cake to share at work and with an elderly friend. Everyone agreed it was delicious! The only changes made were self-rising flour and sweetened applesauce. It took about 30 minutes longer to bake than the recipe stated.

I picked this recipe because of all the 5 stars. My Mom had a wonderful recipe but decided to try this one. I follow the recipe exactly. First, you can't smell it when it's cooking. Second, it's awfully heavy and last it's tasteless. This cake isn't good at all. I am still trying to figure out how anyone rated it 5 stars.

Every time I make this cake my family and friends rave over it. Sometimes I don't bother to ice it, and it is so moist you really don't miss the icing! If you don't have dates, just put a whole cup of raisins and it's still just as delicious.

This was SO delicious! Altho it didn't look, feel or taste anywhere near a "pound" cake it was an excellent cake just the same. It has a similiar consistency of a carrot cake, dense but not as heavy. It's great!

This cake was wonderful! Very moist and full of flavor. I omitted the dates and used only half o the recommended walnuts. I also skipped the icing, it really didn't need it. I'll definitely make this again.

This is a delicious recipe. My picky slim trim daughter even ate 2 pieces with baked pears and raspberry sauce (3 desserts!) after dinner and so did everyone else. My husband ate more later that evening and kept saying how good it was. The Grandkids, everyone loved it. I did not add the fruit as the grandkids can be picky and the cake is plenty flavorful without the fruit and would be wonderful even without fruit or icing...I did add the frosting and it even got compliments so I was glad I added it. It's wonderful and carmel tasting for Fall with the apple flavor cake. I made my own unsweetned applesauce with golden delicious apples..(quick and easy to do). I used light brown sugar for cake and icing (I would call it more of a frosting than icing)...and unsalted butter.

This is a great cake - not too sweet! I left out the raisins and dates and added an extra cup of walnuts instead. I also omitted the frosting. I'm sure it would have been good, but was also wonderful without, and a lot less fat!
