This is a simple recipe, just make sure to measure properly. I have been to Apple Hill in Placerville many times & love this recipe. I agree with cutting back the sugar to 1 cup though. I've played with the recipe and have tried 1/2 c. brown sugar to 1/2 c. white sugar also. I like to add raisins & nuts, but depends on what is on hand. It is such a great recipe and a hit every time. If your cake fell, it may have to do with how old your baking soda is. I repeat there is not an error in this recipe. I have been using this recipe for at least 5 years.

Check your oven! I've made this twice. The first time I put it in the 13x9 pan and left it for an hour. It was burnt to a crisp and had to be binned. The second time I followed the suggestion here and used a Bundt pan. It was a 6 cup pan, so it didn't take all the batter. At 40 minutes, using a steak knife as a tester (a toothpick was too short) it was done. It was moist and delicious.

I work in health care and love to cook. My mother is from France. I take after her, however with working long hours I like fast simple recipes Monday-Friday. On the weekend Icook those extra special dinners.
