YUMMY! I loved this cake it was Yummy, I did alter the ingredients, Personally I am not a fan of (chunks) of apple in my cake so I grated the stated amount instead and it was a very moist delicious cake, My husband loved it I iced it in vanilla and cinnamon icing Delicious !

I made this cake for a friends' birthday party on 10-14-06 (she loves spice cake). I added a cup of apple butter and a cup of chunky cinnamon apple sauce to it (instead of the cut up apples). It was sooo good. Everyone absolutely loved it. Even the kids. The glaze on top was delicious. Also, I made extra glaze and put half into the center of the batter before baking it. Kind of gave it a "swirly, crunchy cinnamon" center. Great recipe!!
