Followed recipe exact. Moist, great apple flavor, just the perfect amount of cinnamon, and the topping is so incredible. I always search this site for ALL MY RECIPES. EVERY RECIPE never fails!!!

I’m ashamed to say that I haven’t made either cake again since I wrote that. I’ll have to remedy that soon! Friday I’ll be making your excellent broccoli cheddar soup.

We love this recipe!😋 I grated my apples instead of little cubes and the cake comes out nicely where the apples kind of blend in with the batter, I like it that way, not chunky. This is actually one of my hubby’s fave dessert. Thank you, Sam!🥰

I wrote that after trying just a piece shortly after it came out of the oven. For this particular recipe, the zucchini “illusion” isn’t very strong, since not much of the sugar and cinnamon go directly on it. If I make this recipe with zucchini again, I will use the 2Tbl of sugar/sinnamon as the recipe calls for, then add another Tbl of sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon to the lemon-cooked zucchini. In aple crisp, however, where the sugar and spices are mixed with the zucchini, people are totally fooled by it.

I want to rave more about this cake before I go. The texture if amazing. I think the whole Tablespoon of baking powder is what allows that. It is much cakier in texture than apple cakes usually are, and that is a definite plus. I sill can’t decide between this and the apple crumb cake, though. I’ll just have to alternate between them.

That is so interesting. I have never tried zucchini instead. I think I’ll give it a shot next time. 🙂

How can I decide whether I like this one or the apple crumb cake better? It doesn’t matter; I can make either one whenever I want. I made this with fake apples, and it’s delicious. Here at the height of zucchini season, it’s silly to let them go to waste. Take 8 cups of zucchini, sliced or chopped, and put it in a large saucepan with 3/4 cup of fresh lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Drain them before using. Use in your favorite apple recipe (like this one, or apple crisp). Don’t tell anyone until after they’ve eaten it. When you tell them there were no apples in your apple cake, they’ll want another piece, so that they can prove to themselves that you’re kidding. If your zucchini are large, you should remove the seeds. If they’re small, you can remove them or leave them in. Also, the large zucchini don’t have exactly the same texture as apples, but it’s still very close, and no one would guess that your dessert is made with zucchini.

This cake is delicious. Not too sweet, just perfect warm with ice cream. Made for my husband’s birthday as he doesn’t like overly sweet cakes and he loved it. Used gluten free flour and it still worked out great. Thank you Sam.

Made your apple cake recipe this past week…AMAZING!!!…in my oven I had to bake it 10 minutes longer and was worried the edges would get dry, but no it was perfect!! And as Maria mentioned in the comments it did taste even better the next day. Also being such a dense cake you only need a small piece, so this large pan would be perfect for a potluck gathering. Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes especially this one inspired by your Grandmother’s original recipe. 🙂

Hi Emily! That should work fine, or you could try our Apple Crumb Cake.

Hi Sam,

Do you think it would be good to put the crumble recipe from the apple muffins on top of this cake?

Made this apple cake yesterday. I thought the cake was pretty yummy yesterday. Left it covered overnight on my counter. This morning it was even better! Super moist and delicious and the topping softened into more like a streusel. Will definitely make this again. Thanks so much for another great recipe!!

Hi Sam! My sister and I made your apple cake today. It was so good! Our family loved it a lot! We served it with vanilla ice cream on top. It tasted like a apple coffee cake. The cinnamon sugar mixture, on top was so good. Thanks for the recipe Sam! We loved it!
