My grandmother made this cake for us grandchildren for many many years, but the REAL recipe is made with 2 cubes of butter not OIL, everything else is the same. It is not greasy.

Everyone ***loved*** this cake! It was so easy to make and so scrumptious. I do think that the cream cheese frosting, though delicious in itself, is overwhelming for this cake, although my son and aunt totally disagree with me. I plan on making this recipe very often.

The whole family enjoyed this apple cake!! I altered it a wee bit.. I used 1 cup of sugar $ tsp. of stevia, olive oil & added raisins & walnuts. It was quite crispy on the outside & chewy on the inside. I also iced it with half the suggested amount. Will definately make again :)

I loved this cake! I changed it a little to make it a little healthier. I split the oil and used half olive oil and half applesauce. I also used baking Equal and egg substitute. I didn't use all of the conf sugar in the icing and only used half of the actual icing. But it turned out excellant and was awesome at breakfast with coffee. Thank you for a great recipe!

This cake was nice, loved the chunks of apple in the cake, but it wasn't AMAZING! Also, I cooked my cake for nearly an hour and although it looked and felt cooked from the outside (I did the test to check it was cooked, ie. press the cake and it should spring back), when i removed it from the tin it was pure goo in the middle. I had to put it in the microwave for 5 minutes. Then it was perfect. It really was a tasty cake but it just lacked something- more spice definately needed.

This cake is very good. Used 1/2 cup less sugar in the cake, and 1 cup less sugar in the frosting, as I find with too much sugar you can't taste the food as well. Also works well subbing applesauce for half the oil, and using half whole wheat flour.

This cake is delicious. It has a nice flavor like a spice cake but not an overpowering taste.

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.

first time i've used vegetable oil for a cake and you know what? it tasted great:) very flavourful but i think next time i'll reduce oil a bit as the middle was just a tad too dense.

This cake was very good. My boyfriend said it was just like his Mom's but without the nuts. I will add the nuts next time.

This was not a hit at our house. The cake had a very oily texture. We did not eat it. Sorry.

WONDERFUL!! I cut the apples into small bite-sized pieces and than after pouring into 2 10" pie plates, sprinkled the tops with brown sugar and chopped pecans. I served the wedges with French vanilla ice cream and drizzled with caramel topping. A perfect Autumn dessert!!!

This cake is good. . . although it fell in the middle for me???? I'll have to make it again, not sure what happened there. I followed the recipe exactly. I also thought the frosting was a little much. . . real sweet.

Yep! This is a winner! I tend to like apple cake on the spicy side so I changed the cinnamon to 1 Tbsp. nutmeg to 2 teaspoons and a tad more salt. A friend who dislikes cake ate his piece and battled his wife for hers! I left off icing and dusted cake with powdered sugar (my husband hates frostings)...I'm sure it's fab with it. I made two cakes in three days...that's how good it is!! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us!

I thought this cake was easy to make and tasted exceptional! I didn't have Granny Smith apples so I used Red and Golden Delicious and reduced the sugar to 1 1/4 cups. I'll definitely make it again!

This recipe was easy to make...but I should've added a little more spice for more flavor. I also should have baked it a little longer than what the recipe calls for..overall it's a good cake.

I made this cake for a dinner party. It was very easy and delicious. I followed the advice that another had left and instead of the frosting I served it with ice cream and caramel...heaven. Leftovers were individually cut and wrapped and put into the freezer. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank you.
