  1. This is my husband's newest favorite cake (though quite honestly he has many favorites from the food.com site....) It is very easy to throw together quickly. The crumb topping is delicious and the cake is moist and keeps well at room temperature - if it lasts that long in your home. A great way to use up applesauce.<br/><br/>Will be making this often over the winter.
     
  2. This is a great recipe! It mixes up easily and quickly. It bakes up beautifully. And most important of all, tastes great. I love that it has all the flavor of a regular cake with so much less fat.
     
  3. Barry, made this for Christmas for my out-of-state sister so had to wait until I spoke to her after the holidays. On her say so, I gave it 5 stars. Will now have to fix this again, for us!
     
  4. this was a great recipe..I am adopting it....
     
  5. Very nice cake. Replaced the nutmeg with cinnamon as I don't care too much for nutmeg. Otherwise I made it as stated. Also used walnuts. Pleased to find a tasty lightened up cake. Just a pity that it tend to dry out so soon. But-I guess that is the price to pay when making a lighter cake. Thanks for sharing.

  2. This was a sure fire croud pleaser and no one was the wiser that it had been lightened up a bit. I replaced one of the cups of white flour with whole wheat and otherwise made the recipe as directed. The results were a lovely brown cake with a good amount of crumb on top. Not a Starbuck sugar loaded crumb but really good. Thanks!

I started cooking seriously in November, 2002. After 30 years of marriage I thought that my wife a well deserved vacation from the kitchen. The kids are grown and out of the house so I am looking forward to retirement when I can devote more of my time to my newest hobby.
