A lot of reviewers have complained that this is dry and crumbly - here are some suggestions. First, you might want to omit the coconut which can gave a dry "finish" to a cake. Also, please check that your self-raising flour is very fresh and lastly do not overbake. These are the steps that I followed and it worked.

This cake is the best apple cake I have ever had. If it came out dry and crumbly I think you might want to try again, you may have made a mistake somewhere. I added a Tsp of Vanilla, 2 Tsp's of cinnamon, and a 1/4 Tsp of nutmeg. After the cake came out of the oven I poked holes in it using a toothpick and then poured a mixture of brown sugar and butter over it. I didn't do the topping in the recipe but I imagine it would be equally as good.

Maybe I did something wrong but the cake was not moist at all and we did not care for the taste either.

This cake is absolutely delish! So moist, it's unbelievable. I didn't have any vegetable oil so I used olive oil instead, I know it sounds wierd, but I think the olive oil added to the moistness of the cake and made it that much better. I'll have to try it next time with veg. oil. Everyone loved it, I'll definitely make this one again!

Awesome, moist cake. I used heavy cream instead of milk and a little vanilla in the sauce. Very rich and yummy.

when I look for recipes I usually go for the ones that have the highest ratings. I wanted to give this a try and was glad I did. I tasted it before the sauce & it tasted great. Even better with the sauce.
