My husband and I came to Canada over 40 years ago from Holland. This traditional Dutch recipe is a family favorite and frequently goes along with me to potluck suppers and other get-togethers. —Elizabeth Peters, Martintown, Ontario

Wrote review earlier...now the real review...I have cooked professionally, so I'm no stranger to the kitchen. However, with this particular recipe, in spite of my additions and tweaks, it tasted extremely bland. My son was less than impressed, he said the same thing, it smelled great, looked good and tastes...meh.
I just made this recipe, after reading the reviews I modified it a bit. Instead of the butter(which I would have loved to use that much butter but didn't have enough)I substituted 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of homemade applesauce. Added nutmeg as well and 1/2 tsp. of baking powder. Also cut it down to 3 eggs...the batter tasted great...we'll see how it tastes when its done. 19 year old son said he'll rate the taste...;)

It's quite laborious for a product that's unhealthy and pretty boring, reminds me of a product in a Starbucks case. Apples are not really highlighted, next time I may carmelize them instead of marinating them in cinnamon/sugar so they maintain some tooth.

So I had some apples I wanted to use and I have had this recipe in my recipe box for awhile, so I decided to try it, even though the reviews weren't so great. The only different thing I did was that I diced the apples and just stirred them into the batter. I think the recipe calls for too many apples for such a small cake. Two small ones would probably have been enough. The apples dominated the cake and I hardly tasted the actual cake part. All that aside, this cake was nothing special and I would not make it again. Deleting it from my recipe box!

I was skeptical when reading the ingredients, noting that there was no baking powder or soda used. But this cake is excellent. I used apple pie spice instead of the cinnamon on the apples. I am going to make this for our church bazaar, with instructions to warm it in the microwave and serve with coffee for a wonderful dessert.

The cake is rather dry & not very flavorful. Needs more apples or something else to moisten it. Definitely needs to be eaten warm. If eaten cold, it isn't very good.

A coworker of my husband's brought in a couple of boxes of tart apples from his tree and told everyone to take some hom. My husband brought home a bagful, so I started looking up recipes to use them. I came across t dutch apple cake, made a loaf, and it was delicious. So delicious I made two more loaves the next weekend. The people that are calling it a bread or loaf need to remember it is a cake and not all cakes are the same which is why it is fun to try recipes from different cultures.

I've made this recipe two weeks in a row for parties and it was a big hit. I have a sweet tooth so when i serve it I spread on some caramel apple dip and heat in the microwave for a few seconds. This recipe is easy and delicious so you good ingredients, I used a really nice cinnamon and my guests could totally tell.
