    extremely quick and hassle free to make, turned out good - not exactly a show piece but great if you want a quick cake with only staples in the house (and you don't feel like making a crumble or a pie). added two chopped bananas along with the apples, worked well, I'm sure walnuts would be great too. thanks for sharing the recipe!

    A lovely cake/pudding that my hungry teenage boys loved. I got a bit nervous when layering in the pan as the mixture didn't seem to cover the apple. It turned out really well though. Very 'farmhouse kitchen'.

    I had to add a little extra milk to the mixture, but this a fantastic recipe, easy even for someone who struggles with cooking :-) And it tastes great!

    Delicious ! - I have made this cake twice in one week! First time I added walnuts - second time I added blueberries. Recommend adding blueberries! Also bought some Waitrose cinnamon sugar for the dusting/sprinkling. 10/10 for this recipe!

    This cake is beautifully moist. I added an extra egg and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the recipe as me and my kids love it. I also misread the recipe and thought that I should grate the apple (oops) but this created a lovely texture - kind of puddingy rather than cakey. I made a cinnamon butter icing which I piped round the edges, this worked really well. I am just making it for the second time, this time I have used 1 and a half times the mixture and 3 eggs. I hope it is as yummy as the first time!
