EASIEST EVER MOIST APPLE CAKE
A very moist, perfectly spiced Apple Cake! This is incredibly easy to make - no mixer required. This must be made with fresh apples, not canned. See note 5 for information about different measures in different countries & different oven types. Also, I do not recommend substituting butter for all or part of the oil - it does not come out as moist and you can't taste buttery flavour anyway because of the spice flavourings! FREEZES great!

BEST MOIST APPLE CAKE
Best apple cake we've ever eaten. I've taken three recipes and combined them to create what my family now requests for birthdays! We think the cake is better once it sits for awhile. Even refrigerated and then heated back up, the flavors seem to really stand out. You can substitute pecans for the walnuts.

SUPER MOIST FRESH APPLE CAKE
This is one of those cakes that, well, the longer it sets, the better it gets. Oh, don't get me wrong, it is just as delicious warm and fresh out of the oven. The added bonus to this lovely cake is that instead of drying out, it gets more moist as the days pass on, if it lasts that long...

MOIST APPLE CAKE
This appetizing apple cinnamon cake, draped with a warm brown sugar sauce, is a crowd-pleaser at parties or at the office, confirms Lisa Miller from West Chester, Ohio. "I adapted a friend's recipe by decreasing the oil and substituting applesauce," she notes. "I also switched to fat-free milk...but no one will ever guess this treat is light."

FRESH APPLE CAKE BY MEMOM
I store my cake in a plastic cake carrier turned upside down. The icing will run off, therefore a regular cake plate will not work unless you have one with high sides. This cake is much better the day after. It is so very moist. It is even better if you put your slice in the microwave for 10 seconds to just have it warm. My family would disown me if I did not have this cake for holiday get-togethers. Nothing better with a cup of coffee.

- Then add the next four ingredients to the mixture and mix well.

- For the icing:.
- Mix all three ingredients in a saucepan and boil for one and a half minutes.
- Pour over cake while topping is warm.

Tips for a Perfect Apple Cake
To achieve a moist and flavorful apple cake, consider the following tips:- Choose the Right Apples: Opt for a variety that holds its shape during baking, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Properly Prepare the Apples: Peel and slice the apples evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Mix just until the ingredients are combined to prevent a tough cake.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh apples, eggs, and butter contribute to a richer taste.
- Don't Skimp on the Spices: A blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger adds warmth and depth of flavor.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: A moderate oven temperature (350°F) allows the cake to bake evenly without overcooking.
- Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean when done.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent it from falling apart.
