I forgot to say that the cake does freeze well – I have plenty in my freezer awaiting consumption and am just about to make more with the last of the apples from the tree.

A fantastic recipe that works every time. I have made loads of them with eating and cooking apples and pears – all taste delicious. I live in Dorset and out of all the apple cake recipes available this is my all time favourite. My entire family love them.

Hi
When you chop the apples for this cake, how small do they need to be? Very finely chopped like onion or diced 1/2 inch cubes? I want to make this for my son's first birthday – he loves apple.
Thanks

I was given a big bag of apples this week. At first I was going to make a crumble but decided to make an apple cake (and so glad I did). This is such a quuick & easy recipe and so delicious that I have made 3 in 2 days and about to make 2 more. You should try it, fantastic and so moreish.

Made 2 of these cakes this afternoon – the second one is still in the oven. I didn't have 2 tins so they've had to be made separately. I just had to make them because I have only just come back from Dorset – tried it there (shop bought) and it was delicious, so I hoping "home made" will be even better. They smell good too. One cake is for a neighbour who gives me loads of windfall cooking apples.

I made this on the weekend, and brought some into work. It's all gone and everyone is asking me to make more! A success and so easy.

Please does anyone know if this cake freezes well? I have a huge amount of apples to use and would like to make this cake and freeze some.

I love any desert with apples and I'm sure to try this recipe out soon. Dorset apple cake is very popular and I hope mine comes out as nice as theirs do.

This is so similar to the apple cake Iv'e been making for years ( In Bristol when my " kids were small) Now I call it " Devon Apple Cake " & it is still popular & easy & quick!!
A good cake to make if you haven't made many cakes " yet" .
