I made this cake exactly to the recipe, and it turned out really well! Very moist, but not very sweet, so I made a glaze and drizzled it on top. It really balanced the overly sweet glaze. Very good!

This recipe is sooo good! I followed every single thing except for sugar. Our household only use raw honey and stevia as sweetener for health reason, so 3/4 cup sugar feels like too much for me. Instead of 3/4 sugar, I only put 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup raw honey. The sweetness is perfeeect! Not super sweet but sweet enough to pass as a great tasting apple cake. Great recipe!

I love this cake! So nice to have whole wheat dessert recipes. I thought it was plenty sweet just as is and will definitely make it again.
