Brought this into work. Lots of complaints about blown diets, but they all want me to bring it in again. Had four people separately tell that it is the best cake they've ever eaten.

The spice cake and frosting were very good. However, I did not include any of the nuts because the cake was for my son's first birthday and nuts are not recommended at his age for allergy reasons. I added brown sugar and cinnamon to the frosting in place of the nuts.

I had made some applesauce and was looking for a recipe for applesauce cake to use some. Am I ever glad I found this one! Moist, flavorful and oh so easy to make. I like a little darker cake, so I added 2 tablespoons of molasses, but that's the only change. We love it.

I got many compliments on this cake. But I have to recommend that you check on it after 25 to 30 minutes - not 50 minutes like the recipe says. Great cake if you keep an eye on it. I will make it again.

I made this for my daughter's first birthday and it was wonderful! I left out the cloves, allspice and nuts, though I did put in a whole teaspoon of cinnamon. I also used homemade applesauce, which was not pureed but just mashed up with a potato masher. I used a fluffy white (7-minute) frosting recipe, but I think it would have been just about perfect with a cream-cheese frosting!!! The cake was delicious and moist and I will be making this again, and again and again! Thanks for the recipe!!!

Loved this cake! I used my homemade applesauce, added a pinch of nutmeg and raisins. With fall in the air it was a perfect dessert....thanks so much!

Oh my! So yummy! Slight variations I made were adding nutmeg, omitting allspice, melting the butter. Super delicious. Per suggestion I made a caramel glaze for the top and it was perfection!
