This cake is FABULOUS! I cut the amount of frosting in half, which is PLENTY. For those of you who are like me, and insist on making everything healthier: I substituted half the flour with whole wheat flour, substituted half the oil for applesauce (which gave it a better lighter texture), and used low fat cream cheese. Also, I added about a cup of walnuts. EVERYBODY LOVED IT. EXCELLENT.

Excellent apple cake! Don't be discouraged by the batter's thickness, it is actually more like a dough than a batter, but remember that apples are full of water and it balances out. The icing is awesome!

This recipe is "the Best". I read others reviews and expected the batter to be thick, but not soooo thick. It was more like a crumble mixture, and I literally had to press it into the pan with my hand. But, to my surprise, it was fantastic! Everyone loved it, as it was quite different with a very cruchy crust and soft and almost toffee like middle. Forget the frosting, it doesn't need it. Lovely cold but extra special served warm as a desert, with whipped cream and dusted with powdered sugar.
