    LISTEN, I HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL AS FAR AS IT STICKING OR BEING TOO SWEET....THIS CAKE IS JUST PERFECT!!! I USED PAM NON STICK FOR BAKING AND SPRAYED MY BUNDT PAN WITH THAT...THAT STUFF IS GREAT FOR BAKING (NO FLOUR NEEDED JUST THE SPRAY NOTHING EVER STICKS WHEN I USE THAT. ALSO LEFT OUT THE CLOVES (DO NOT LIKE THEM...THAT'S JUST ME THOUGH THIS CAKE WILL BE GREAT ON ITS OWN OR WITH SOME WHIPPED CREAM AND A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE...GLAD I FOUND THIS RECIPE. SAVED IT ON MY RECIPES ON THIS NETWORK!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH:

    I may have taken too many liberties, not precise measurements, because the cake wasn't as great as I expected or as good as others have bragged. I may have added a hare less brown sugar than called for, but it wasn't sweet at all. It was crumbly and didn't hold together well, but that could have been from the self-rising flour I had on hand. I should have reduced the baking powder amount.

    I used a larger, flatter cake pan and had no trouble with the cooking time. It was slightly overdone in 40 minutes.

    This recipe did not come together for me as I had hoped. I may try again.

    I have this recipe bookmarked on my computer and printed up. Use it often - make muffins out of it for a quick and easy treat for kids' breakfasts.

    I love the recipe. I use a loaf pan and had to cook about 20 mintues more that the recipe called for. I gave my neighbor some and she ask me where i brought the cake from. I told her from my oven....LOL It made me feel really good. Thanks for a Great Recipe. Chuck E

    Okay, I'm just starting out learning how to bake. Actually, today is my second attempt at baking. What I'm saying is that this is easy. I followed the directions to the "T," sifting and all. I used a muffin pan instead of what they suggested based on the recipe. I know, it's supposed to be a cake, but this method gets the job done in a shorter amount of time 35 minutes. I did two batches, and they both came out perfect at 35 mins. You must try this. O, and I accidently used cinnamon flavored apple sauce w/ the full amount of cinnamon called for in the recipe, and it still tastes great! Please try it, you won't be disappointed.

    If you've experienced problems with this cake setting, next time try sifting your flour first, then measuring out 2 1/4 cups of it by gently spooning it into a measuring cup for dry ingredients and gently leveling off the top with the straight edge of a butter knife (be careful not to pack the flour. After doing this, add the baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to the sifted flour and sift it all together to evenly distribute everything. Sifting the flour first puts air into the flour keeping your batter from being so dense. (One cup of sifted flour is a lot less in weight than one cup of flour just scooped out of the bag into the measuring cup. Then just follow the recipe from where it leaves off. This should fix the problem.

    This is a great recipe! But to make it healthier: use only 1-1/2 cups of sugar and substitue "Egg Beaters" or some other egg substitue. You'll have 90 less calories, 10 less grams of fat, and 420 less mg's of cholesterol!! Also, PLEASE make your applesauce homeade! It's simple, tastes so much better, has no artificial additives/preservatives, and is cheaper!!

    This applesauce is sooooo good and very easy to make. However, do not use a tube pan; instead, use a bundt pan. It takes about 45-50 minutes. Instead of the powder sugar, try a cream cheese icing. "It's to die for."

    I loved this and so did my 3 year old. I reduced the brown sugar to 1 1/2 cups and also added a 1/2 cup of chopped dates. My daughter wont eat applesauce, dates or walnuts on their own, but when I made this cake, she couldnt get enough!
