Wasn't very sweet, but I wanted a not so sweet cake to serve with Vanilla Sauce. I didn't add the topping, and I put the apples in lemon juice, don't think it affected the cake at all. I do wonder if it should have eggs. In all, it turned out well.

Sorry but this cake was terrible. I followed it exactly. It wasn't sweet enough, maybe it was my apples. Thanks anyway!!

YUM! another good one Dancer! I was needing to use apples. BTW Smadar - apples are often used as a substitue for eggs, applesauce usually.

This was good. Not overly sweet - the only change I made was to use skim milk instead of buttermilk - I didn't have any buttermilk. I also had to make adjustments for high altitude - I only used 1/2 tsp soda and 1/2 tsp baking powder - I increased the milk by 2 Tbsp as well. I put about 1 cup pecans into the cake. I didn't make the topping - just as well - I noticed the directions didn't mention the topping at all. Served warm with FF Cool Whip. DH liked it! Thanks.

Absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly. This is a wonderful cake. DH LOVES it! I had 1 slice of the cake and DH consumed the remainder in less than 24 hours. LOL. Thanks for posting this gem! I will definately be making this one for years to come.
