    Hi Ms Paula!
    I loved your show featuring Uncle Bob and his wonderful "Apple Cake"! Yummy!!!!. I made the cake and it turned out so very moist and delicious. This cake is now a family favorite as it lasted under 24 hours! I belong to a quilting group and plan to serve it to my friends next Tuesday evening to share the delightful treat! I'll have to make two at a time!!!!!! Thank you to you, and precious "Uncle Bob" for this wonderful recipe! Hugs and much appreciation to Y'all..........

    This is a very good cake. However, the baking time in the recipe is way too long in my oven. I baked it in one hour and it was totally done. I think I will reduce it to 55 minutes next time. I also made cut the glaze recipe in half to save on calories. After eating it, I don't think it even needs a glaze. Next time, I'll just use fat-free cool whip on top.

    No peeling apples--simple! When I made this batter, it was SO thick I thought I did something wrong--but that's how it will be, per the video. It baked in less than the time noted, an hour and 20 mins. I didn't bother with the glaze, I don't like 'sweet' sweets; this cake is just right, a coffee cake. A little powdered sugar and whipped cream on the side seems a good way to eat this. The first time I used 1/3 barley flour to 2/3 AP flour. The second time, I swapped out the 3 eggs for egg substitute for my toddler granddaughter, who has food allergies. I used diced pears this time. The egg substitute was not enough to make batter the right consistency. I had to add 2 little applesauce containers--unsweetened to make the batter right. This is a great recipe for using up any kind of ripe fruit that you need to salvage. Next time I'm going to use some diced mango.

    This cake is outstanding!! It fully deserves all the 5*'s it has gotten.

    I cut the sugar in half from 2c. to 1c. & added 1/4c. of brown sugar.Plenty sweet!! Next time I plan to use the Splenda/Sugar mix instead of pure sugar. I also used 3 apples not 2. The chunks of apple in the cake is what makes it so special.

    When mixing the cake it almost looks too thick. DON'T BE ALARMED. Especially if you add extra apple, comes out perfectly moist.

    I "sparingly" drizzled Duncan Hines Glaze(Vanillaover the top, instead of making one. [Only because I like to keep glaze on hand in the fridge. Great to drizzle over biscuits, cookies, pancakes, crescent rolls, etc.]easy to flavor with cinnamon, lemon, honey, ginger or what ever too.

    This recipe has gone in my "favorites" Thanks Paula & Uncle Bob!

    I make this cake about every two weeks for our family and there's never a crumb left! I leave off the glaze since it's wonderful without the extra sweetness/calories! The batter is super thick so I add a splash of milk and it adds to the moistness. We absolutely love it!!

    This cake was awesome! Moist, delicious and easy to make. Was gone in less than 24hr hours with everyone looking for more. Making my 2nd one in 3 days, this time I'm trying it w/combo of applesauce and oil to try and make it a little lower fat...will update review

    Used whole wheat flour and substituted lemon juice for the milk. Very tasty cake.
