I needed a huge quantity of cake, so I tripled this recipe and I used a mold of 35 to 45 cm. I used walnuts and apples from the garden. To finish the cake and for the presentation I added a thin layer of glaze (powdered sugar, condensed milk and brady) and I topped it with some walnuts and raisins. Super delicious had been apprdciated very much. I loved the wonerful result and the fat low recipe. Thanks a lot for posting! Forgot to say: Do to the quantity I had to bake it for about 50 minutes.

These squares are so good Lor. The recipe reminds me somewhat of bread pudding as the dough is so moist and soft. I did mine in an 8x8 glass pyrex baking dish and it took a full 45 minutes to bake. Doing the recipe in a 9x13, you could probably get away with baking the stated 20-30 minutes. What a great treat for the fall time of year. <br/>Made for AU Recipeswap.~

After reading the other reviews, I upped the cinnamon in mine. I really liked them with loads of cinnamon. I'll make these again because they have made a nice breakfast treat.

These were pretty good, though it was just normal. nothing really exciting about it. I only used 2 apples instead of three and it turned out with that minor change. Other than that I followed everything else. Thanks for the recipe Lauralie41!

Even though this recipe is terribly written I liked that there was no added fat so I thought I could probably figure out what it was supposed to say. I used wheat flour and sifted the dry ingredients together to remove the extra bran in the flour. Apple pie spice instead of plain cinnamon. 1% milk & whole eggs instead of just whites. Soaked the dried cranberries and blueberries in boiling water for 15mins. Pumpkin seeds and about a cup of oatmeal too. I'm assuming the brown sugar and cinnamon at the bottom were for topping so I did it that way. It's in the oven right now and smells pretty good. If you figure out a better way to do it let me know.
