This is really a winner. The cake is wonderfully moist. I made it exactly as written. It's not a typical apple cake with cinnamon and spice. Rather, it's the perfect compliment to the delicious icing - a buttery coconut/pecan icing. YUMM! The guys went back for seconds. I'll be making this again. -
If I could give this cake 10 stars, that still wouldn't be enough. Quite outstanding! Moist and delicious....The topping compliments the cake, but the cake alone is worthy of praise. DH wants to make the next one (under my supervision, of course) so when he has a hankering...he can whip one up himself!!
