Flavored with cinnamon and apples, Sherry Ashenfelter’s rich, old-fashioned apple cake is moist, dense and down-home delicious. Even better, it 's quick to fix and, served warm with whipped cream or a dollop of frozen custard, one of her Waterville, Ohio family’s very favorite recipes for decades.

I rarely write reviews on anything, but this recipe is amazing! So I just had to write a review. One of the things I like about it is that it has oil instead of butter. I substituted safflower oil for the vegetable oil and instead of cutting the apples fine, I kept them in larger chunks which gave the cake interesting consistency differences and also gave it "flavor bursts" of apples. Next time I make it, (and believe me, there will be a next time despite the fact that I rarely cook or bake), I will experiment with adding pre-soaked, plumped raisins.This cake is moist, light, and absolutely delicious!

I made this and took it to a potluck luncheon at work. It met with many complements-both at work and with my family members. Will definitely make this one again!!!!!

This cake is fabulous! My family absolutely loves it. I used only 1 teaspoon baking powder and increased baking soda to 1/2 teaspoon and only used slightly more than 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. My daughter topped it with cream cheese frosting. YUM! When I make it again, and I will, I'm going to substitute half of the flour with whole wheat. Thanks for a great recipe!
