Apple Cake

Submitted by Carrie A

"Moist delicious cake. It really reminds me of a breakfast danish or something. Cake just doesn't do it justice! You can make it as the recipe follows or you can make it sugar free by using Splenda, or even fat free by replacing the oil with apple sauce and eggs with eggbeaters. It really is delicious. You can also use other fruit like peaches blueberries, pineapples. It is very versatile."

Delicious! We really enjoyed this quick and easy apple cake. I made this as written, using walnuts but no raisins. I used Golden Delicious apples and they worked well for this recipe. The eggs were missing from the cooking instructions, so I added them to the bowl with the flour. Also, there was no baking temperature listed. I baked this at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Thank you for sharing this wonderful cake. *Made for Fall 2009 My 3 Chefs *
