BEST APPLE CAKE & VIDEO

This really is the best apple cake. The kind of cake that you want to sneak nibbles from and know your diet is doomed if you keep it in the house, especially since your kids are at college and not home to save you from yourself.

It’s so moist and cinnamony and that cream cheese frosting is just to die for. I brought half the cake to our neighbor’s house, they could share it with 6 people.

My waistline loves them! It was a hit! Then guess what? My kids came home for the day and of course, I sent them off with apple cake! They couldn’t believe how delicious it was and were raving about it.

Of course, I received extra hugs and kisses for being such a great Mom bestowing baked goods to my starving College Kids!

I would like to make this cake is there any way to cut back on the amount of oil or a substitute ? Thank You for sharing.

Beatrice,

I have not substituted oil for this recipe before, but if you would like to make a substitution, you can try applesauce, or yogurt, or butter. Let me know how it works out if you do try it.

Good luck,

Nettie

Hi, this Apple Cake looks sooooo delicious. I have a question. Can I double the recipe and still bake it in a 9x13 pan? and will the bake time be different? Thanks.

Hi Christine,

This is a wonderful apple cake recipe. For my recipe, I used a 9x13 baking pan. So if you want to double the recipe, I suggest that you use two 9x13 baking pans. The batter is very thick and I wouldn't want to see your pan overflow. Enjoy!
