"Orchards in Fort Davis, Texas, sell boxes of apples in the fall. We always buy a box and store it in the refrigerator until holiday baking time. Then we make several cakes to give as Christmas gifts." --CL Reader

This was a real crowd pleaser. I also served it without the glaze and everyone at work has declared this to be their new favorite apple cake. And it was super easy to make..no need for an electric mixer. Definitely a keeper!

This cake turned out really well when I made it for a Halloween Supper Club. I replaced half of the all-purpose flour with 3/4 cup white whole-wheat flour and 3/4 cup ground flax seed. Since I was making a "Cemetery" Cake, I baked it in a 13"x9" pan so I shortened the baking time by about 10 minutes and frosted it with caramel-pecan frosting (the ground.) I then edged it with Indian corn candy (fence) and decorated double-chocolate Milano cookies with "RIP" in black icing (tombstones). It was a fun, flavorful dessert for Halloween. I will make the cake next time but won't frost it as the cake really doesn't need it.

Yum! A big hit with my family. We skipped the glaze per the other reviewers suggestions and didn't miss it. A great snack cake.
