Delicious! I used 2 large golden delicious apples, because I couldn't get bramley, and they were out of Granny Smith (my preference for baking). They worked perfectly. I used a 11" X 7" glass baking pan, and it rose well above the top. It made a beautiful brown glazed apple top when finished. The cake has a nice soft sponge texture with a moist apple layer in the middle, and a dried/baked apple texture on top - very nice contrast in textures. The flavor was appley and faintly molasses like. Wonderful fall treat.

I made a 3/4 batch hoping it would fit into my 20cm square baking tin - and it was perfect! I used Granny Smith apples and served it warm with Cinnamon & Honey yoghurt which matched the apple/butter flavours of the cake beautifully! Will definitely make this one again.

Absolutely SCRUMMY! Used granny smith since I can't get hold of bramleys here, no self-raising flour either, so added in an extra 2 tsp of baking powder. Now this is how it went for me: I broke the switch on my weighing scale as I was switching it from gm to lbs :oops:. So, I used the zaar converter to convert from oz to gms. It took mine about 55 mins to bake (I had checked after 45 mins, the centre was still wobbly). PLEASE NOTE: IT IS NOT THE RECIPE'S FAULT. IT'S MY BROKEN SCALE AND THE CONVERTER. The cake has risen beautifully. OHH it just melts in your mouth! I had mine with vanilla ice cream and DH had to have his with custard! THANK YOU, FT, for sharing yet another one of your wonderful recipes!

This was lovely - especially when it was still hot and served with vanilla ice cream!

Lovely cake, and easy to prepare. I made it exactly to recipe and found it needed 55-60 minutes baking time. But oh such a soft, moist texture AND my mother-in-law liked it! I'd like to add ginger and cinnamon next time, but I'll definitely be making this one again.

This is absolutely gorgeous. My children love the buttery vreamy flavour of the cake and my parents loved it with cream. Definitely a keeper, will be making this for many years. Great frozen too!
