    YUMMY!!! Made this cake late tonight after getting my kiddos to bed & it was worth every minute of my quiet mommy time-- so moist & flavorful! Used a shallow decorative holiday bundt pan & had enough leftover batter to make 2 mini loafs. It was so delicious, my husband & I ate an entire mini loaf while standing in the kitchen in our pj's! Added 1c golden raisins soaked in warmed apple brandy. Then reduced the soaking liquid with sugar to make a thick syrup & brushed the cakes before pouring on the buttermilk glaze. Apple-y deliciousness!!!! Paula, you never disappoint me :D

    Amazing recipe. I made this for my Mother_in_laws birthday, Thanksgiving, and my God_daughter's birthday. This will be loved for a long time. Many are asking for copy. Thanks Paula. :-

    WOW! This is delicious! I cut the sugar down to 1.5 cups and left the apple pieces a little more chunky which was nice to have chunks to bite into. Absolutely worth making. MMM.

    Too good for words. My aunt brought this cake to a casual party last night and it was a HUGE hit. Everyone asked for seconds and the recipe. Apple cakes can be bland and dry, but this is downright juicy because of the outstanding glaze, and it's decadently full of coconut, butter and pecans. If you're looking for a company-worthy apple cake recipe, ignore the calories and make this.

    I just made this cake for the first time and had a great response to it. I didn't have a tube cake pan so I split the batter into 2 round cake pans and cooked for 1 hour. At first, the batter looked really thick (anyone else think so?, almost like a bread batter so I wasn't so sure it was going to turn out but apparently it came out pretty good. I will try this again in the correct pan next time.

    I have people begging me to make this recipe. We've made it for the past 4 years or so. All of my family and friends hate fruitcake....so at Christmas I made it with pecans, macadamia nuts and walnuts, dredged in flour and thrown in. It was delicious. But make it like the recipe says for the best damn cake you have ever eaten. One family member when invites are issued over the phone says "is that cake going to be on the menu?" It's just the best.
