Fantastic!! So easy to put together and the flavor is....YUM! The glaze is just the right touch, its sweet, but it really compliments the apples and nuts in the cake. I made this for friends visiting from out of state and they both gave this two thumbs up. I can't find my tube pan so I used a 13x9 inch cake pan which worked well and the cake was done in an hour and 10 minutes.

I made this yesterday to take to church while I was working in the office. Everyone loved it even one Pastor who said he really didn't like apple "stuff":. I made a couple of tweaks either out of necssity or personal choice. For instance I used 1cup of reg white sugar, and 1/2 C of brown sugar, instead of all the oil, I used 1 cup of chunky applesauce and 1/2 C Canola oil, it took 2 Granny Smith and 1 med size Gala apple to get 3 cups..I also added a little cinnamon and about 1 tsp of cardomon to the flour mix. I baked it in a 9x13 pan (only took about an hour, cooled it and cut into squares, then put them on a rack and spooned the toppping over each one so they were all covered with a little running down the sides. This is a keepeer in our house, thanks for another winner recipe

The only disappointment with this cake is that it is gone so fast! By the time I had served everyone (some coming back for another serving) I was left with one small piece. I got busy doing something else and when I came back it was gone! My little girl had eaten it. She said sorry with a huge smile! There is one thing I might try doing different next time: Pour the topping on the cake while it is still in the pan. Not sure how it will turn out, but I'm anxious to make another one anyway. Thanks!
