This is a really good recipe! I do want to share some thoughts. If people aren't going to follow a recipe exactly and then leave poor feedback, shame on you. I made this gluten free, so my flour is different and this was very dry when trying to mix in the apples. I have another recipe very similar for muffins........the apples are what will give it the necessary moisture to help the batter. So, even after adding the apples, it was still very stiff. For my case with gluten free flour I added 1/2 c. water and that did the trick. I also love cinnamon, so I used 1 T instead of tsp and about 1/2 tsp cloves, because I love the flavor. I split my sugars between brown and white. I know that seems like a lot of changes, but I have no doubt this recipe as is, is delicious. I'm on my second piece as I write this. :-) Thanks to Ken and Hilda! This will be my go-to for apple cake from now on.

This is one of the best cakes ever!!! I am fortunate enough to have Hilda make it for me and share the recipe too. How wonderful that Ken saw the need to shard this further. You will not be disappointed.
