I made this cake without the nuts and caramel topping because I didn't have the ingredients. Instead I made a butterscotch sauce, using the recipe on this website. Love it! To serve I sliced the cake up and poured the sauce over, rather than pouring it over the cake as a whole. I used soured cream instead of Greek yoghurt as my mother-in-law (a chef) has suggested this before. I baked it for about five mins longer than the recipe said to but, as with anything, times vary depending on your oven. I grated the apple, like Anna above, so the sponge was smooth and so moist. I used a whole tsp of cinnamon instead of half and there's just a hint of it so half probably wouldn't give much flavour at all. My husband, fussy four-year-old and I loved it and I'll be making it again and again!

Forget to say that I served the cake with a home made butterscotch sauce from the BBC GF recipe list.

I wish I had read all 4 pages of the comments before I made this cake instead of the first page only. I made the cake without the toffee topping and whilst it was cooking, it looked great. As soon as I took it out, it sunk in the middle and looked a bit sorry for itself. When I retuned to the comments page, I realised that 2 other bakers had experienced the same problem. It tasted good but presentation is equally as important to me so I was disappointed.

I would make this again but I would used a victoria sponge mix with 3 eggs and no yoghurt and grate the apples rather than using chunks. The moisture from the yoghurt and the apples makes the cake very dense hence it sinks. I'm not sure why there is a big move to use yoghurt in cake mix but I feel a more traditional recipe of a victoria sponge cake is likely to have more success. From here on in, no yoghurt will be used any more of my cake mixtures.

Made it this morning to take in to work for a treat , everyone thought it was delicious .

Absolutely delicious
Made cake and everyone dived in and devoured

Delicious

One word WOW

Absolutely delicious cake.
Soft and creamy in the middle with the delicious apple to make it moist.

Make this and people will not leave your house skinny....

The cake has a good flavour but it sank a bit and was stodgy and as I have used chopped apple in cakes before I think it was due to the yogurt.
The topping was interesting I used Tesco caramels with milk (didn't have cream) and think it would be lovely on icecream.

Didn't change a thing and it was perfect. The walnuts are really complimentary to the toffee topping, especially as they have cooked with cake so taste nice and toasted. Looked so dense when I turned it out I was worried it wasn't cooked but it was fine actually. Really really nice.

This cake was amazingly moist even after a few days. I didn't bother with the walnuts as thought the apple and cinnamon was enough. I put half the mixture in the loaf tin and then put a row of dairy toffees on the mixture and then put the rest of mixture on top. It made a lovely gooey centre through the middle.

I made the toffee topping with Waitrose dairy toffess with a bit of mascarpone as didn't have cream. I might add a few more apples next time.

Delicious and simple to make. This always gets compliments and requests for the recipe. For me, it's even nicer warmed with custard and served as a pudding. I usually use Bramleys and ordinary plain yoghurt (due more to bad planning than anything else!) I'm thinking of trying it with bananas and dates or pears at some point - but that also requires planning so I may never get round to it. ;o)

I used mascarpone cheese instead of yogurth and it turned out lovely and soft. Never got to the topping yet.

Amazingly good, now a firm staple in my cake recipe book. I switched the walnuts on top for pecans and it was lovely. I also used just basic dairy toffees for the glaze with worked a treat! Lovely.

Really nice but would leave in the oven for longer next time and probably add some baking powder as it was a bit stodgy at the bottom! Loved the topping, used cheap as chips supermarket value brand toffees and they were fine.

Fabulous cake. Really easy and went down a storm. I only had the hard Werthers and attempted to melt some of these with the cream, didn't really work and so removed the lumps of toffee and just mixed up the cream with what had melted which was delicious. I think the cake would have been as good without the sauce in any case.

This is the 2nd time of making this cake, I forgot to add the greek yogurt, after going to the shops especially for it!. However it didnt make any difference to the finished masterpeice, there was plenty of chopped apple to keep it very moist!

Very good recipe. As I am trying to stay away from plain flour I have substituted it with Brown Rice Flour and instead of greek yogurt used soya yogurt. It worked perfectly. Very good texture, even,close,smooth and moist.My BF loved it :)))

Lovely easy light cake which I will be making again :)

This is fantastic recipe, a definate regular, so easy to do...delicious

Absolutely delicious recipe. I used Asda butterscotch toffees to make the topping and it was divine. Just polished it off with my brother and boyfriend. Definitely gonna become a regular.

I made this yesterday....the cake was yummy but couldnt really taste the apple so will maybe add some more as suggested on previous comments!
Used pecans instead as i didn't have any walnuts and sprinkled some butterscotch pieces over the top too...that added a nice touch!
