I had plenty of apples on hand and decided to make this cake for one of my dad's friends as soon as I got hold of the recipe. This cake baked beautifully and my house smelt wonderful while it baked. He enjoyed the cake and I just wanted to say thank you to you for sharing a good, easy to follow and wonderful recipe! Thanks a bunch!

I had a box full of Asian pears from my lovely Korean neighbors for Chuseok, so I used those instead of apples. Also, only used 1 cup of oil and I didn't have any nuts. I sprinkled some brown sugar over the top before I put it in the oven. It was so yummy. Perfect consistency. Not too gooey, not too cakey. Also, I only baked it for 45 minutes.

My husband is the baker in this house, I wanted to make a treat for him and this recipe had all of his faves in it and looked easy enough for me to attempt. I was a little intimidated by the amount of oil so I substituted 1 cup of oil with 1 cup of apple sauce and it turned out wonderful. I didn't put in any nuts because I didn't have them. I also used a spoon, I just couldn't wrap my mind around sticking my hands into it. lol I found that I only needed to bake it for 35 minutes, I'm not sure if this was because of the substitution. Very nice, easy cake---thanks!
