Reviews
This is not a review of the actual recipe as I cut the sugar quantity by half. We are not fans of extreme sweetness so by doing so it was perfect. With that exception I could not have pulled this new wonderful desert together without you, Thanks.
It wasnt cake like it was crunchy outside gooey inside was good but a little too sweet for my liking
I substituted mashed bananas for the oil and made this into a round layer cake with cream cheese icing. Delicious!!!
This one is hard to rate, because I made mistakes that may have changed the outcome. We loved it the way I made it and my husband says I need to keep making it with my mistakes left in. I didn’t have enough sugar so I added brown sugar for the 1/2 cup I was short, and I over loaded the cake with apples. My cake came out moister then most cakes with a candied like crust making it even crunchier. I am thinking if it is this good with mistakes then it is stellar made as written. A tasty, easy, forgiving recipe.
