This cake was wonderful! I grated my apples with the peel on because I am lazy, I also subbed plain fat free yogurt for the apple butter because I had none. The grated apples sortof melted into the cake, making it super duper moist. This recipe filled my bundt pan completely plus a small foil loaf pan...enough to share!

What a wonderful recipe. There is no oil in this recipe and the cake is still extremely moist. It is a very large recipe. I made half the recipe and it was too much for my smaller 6 cup bundt pan. One third of the recipe would have been much better

Super Tasty!!!!Make sure you use a big bundt pan. I used my regular sized pan and there was just a little bit too much batter for it.I ended up putting it in a muffin tin. I got a bundt cake and 7 muffins out of it. I wouldn't recommend doing muffins though. They taste fine but they didn't raise like muffins should.I added a tsp of nutmeg to the dry mixture and left out the pecans. I sprinkled it with powdered sugar. Very good!!!!

Say Hi to my Toy Poodle Peek-A-Boo! She was born on Mothers day, 2007 About Me ~ I was born in Arlington Virginia. My Mother and Father both worked for the F.B.I. After I was born we moved back to Tennessee, Where my parents were born. I have remained here because of the beautiful Mountains! We bought a Home overlooking the mountains of Cumberland Gap Tn. I love to cook!!! Before I became disabled, I worked as a Caterer and as a Supervizing Manager in a Deli/Market for 15 years. It was my life. I miss it very much. I have learned alot about cooking and baking from my Grandmother's and my Aunt's.We do a lot of canning, things like Jellies and Apple butter, Chow Chow,Mixed pickles, Strawberry jam, Gr. Beans and Pickled Beats. And my favorite is the homemade Strawberry Jam. We have even had several Mollasses Stir Offs in the Fall at my Church & we make Apple Butter and Cider. I was raised in the Southeast and we love to COOK. It must be something in the water? LOL & If it involves cooking count me in!!! I Love the Food Network and all the cooking shows. I Have found alot of great recipes and made alot of friends from this Web site.
