Apple Dapple Cake

Submitted by Fauve

"My college roommate's grandmother used to send us slices of this delicious cake while we roomed together. I begged my roommate to get the recipe from her grandmother. I copied this recipe down during a long distance phone call to her grandmother. Since that day, I've made this many times over. My children today love this one and call it Mom's "college cake"."

Made this yesterday as written, and baked in a bundt pan - I had to bake it a little bit longer than the hour baking time, because when I inserted a toothpick it was a tad gooey. Served it with vanilla ice cream and my family absolutely loved it... some asked when we could have it again! Such a yummy treat! Thank you, Fauve, for a winner!

Wonderful moist and delicious cake. I made it once following these directions completely and the second time made healthier substitutions (half yogurt in place of oil, half wheat flour, less sugar, less butter etc) and it was still great.

I have had this exact cake many times, and it is just plain delicious! Only difference is, I use walnuts instead of pecans. Reminds me that I have to make it again too!

I baked this yesterday and I'm so pleased with the results. What a ridiculously delicious cake!! Minor adjustments I made; used 4 cups of apple instead of 3 and added 1/2 cup of dried cranberries. Baking time was extended by 10-12 mins, and resulted in a moist and perfect cake. Thank you for posting, this is my new #1 favorite!

I'm only giving this 3 stars based on the other reviews. I made this cake as directed and even baked it an extra 10 minutes - it was still raw in the middle. My oven temp was bang on (I use an oven thermometer) so I don't know what happened. And I had such high hopes for this cake based on reviews...sigh
