My cake was done after 40 minutes instead of 60-70. Don’t know what happened there, but it was baked perfectly. It might have even been a wee bit overbaked. I subbed 1/2 creme fraiche and 1/2 Fage yogurt for the sour cream (and yes, I thought I was so clever), and if I were to make it again, would skip the sugar on top. Hopefully that might help someone…

Truly delicious! Instead of a sugar topping what about melted on chocolate or cream or even custard which is traditional.

I made a cake just like this for thanksgiving, though slightly different..
I used nearly 4 pounds of apple puree, so it was more of a pudding but delicious all the same. This website is great, so glad to have found it. I’ll be baking a chocolate cake with your buttercream icing for my Mom’s birthday tomorrow, thanks for the inspiration!

I made this last night and it was great. Served it to my husband with whipped cream and he liked it a lot (and he is picky).

I love the gingerbready flavor. I think I might try raisins and pecans in it next time, and maybe some cinnamon-sugar sprinkled on top.

Do you think it would be good with vanilla?

Thanks so much Joy for your inspiration!!

I’m just going to head out now and get some apples! I read this in the early hours of the morning (I’m in GMT0 zone:)) and have been planning its baking since.
My sister gave me one of those round tins for Christmas and your recipe looks like it will be a beauty. Many thanks!

I love apple cake. My grandpa used to make one every year around the holidays. Alas, I do miss it now that he’s gone. I think I will make this soon as a revival of the holiday apple cake! =]

Hi Joy, congrats! I voted for you…

I tried this cake last night… but I did not have an 8″ springform pan… I wound up putting it in a square pan, because I have a lid to keep it fresh. I wouldn’t recommend the square… the corners aren’t the best…

*but* and this is a big BUT:

this was, hands down, the BEST apple cake I have ever made. I have tried MANY, MANY apple cakes…. and this one… oh, my!

Moist, light, soft… yummy.

Make this cake, just use a round pan.Your taste buds will thank you.
