  1. Delicious! I was out of pecans so I used walnuts, otherwise followed the recipe. The only thing I would do next time is use less than half the batter for the bottom layer so I would have an easier time spreading the top layer over the filling. Thanks for sharing this super easy, and tasty recipe!
     
  2. I actually got this recipe from my husband's cousin years ago. I bake it in a sheet pan (15x11). It comes out thinner and I just pour all the batter in then smash the brown sugar, cinnamon, & nuts into the batter, then bake. Only takes about 25 minutes this way. I also doubled the glaze. Thanks for the posting!
     
  3. I've made this cake many times and it came out perfect everytime. My family loves this cake, it looks way better made in a bundt pan and it tastes incredible!!
     
  4. I chop up a peeled tart green apple and toss it into the filling. Cuts the sweetness a bit and you feel healthier!
     
  5. Delicious ! I have made this per recipe and it was great. The 2nd time I made it I made a cream cheese glaze instead and I recommend the cream cheese glaze !!
