This cake is very good and I love, love the fact it does not need frosting. Very good with a cup of coffee or tea. A keeper!

I used Black Walnuts instead of English Walnuts. The cake reminded me of the cake my grandmother used to make.

I substituted classic yellow cake mix instead of butter recipe mix. I still added the same amount of butter, apple sauce, and eggs the recipe called for. I added extra finely chopped walnuts. This recipe was delicious. The cake is light, moist, and fluffy. Baking time was just over 40 minutes.- Careful not to over bake. At most this cake could handle a light glaze, but frosting would be too heavy. The powder sugar and cinnamon dusting was pretty.

Made this cake for Christmas morning breakfast. Terrific !! It was easy to make and turned out to be very moist and flavorful, just as my husband likes it.

A winner! I made this for a birthday dinner- it was so well received (and devoured) that I made another for an office holiday party. Everyone LOVES it. You can't go wrong with this recipe.
Perfection!

This is a GREAT recipe, it has the taste of on old fashioned spice cake my grandmother would bake when we were kids. It is light and wonderful. No need for frosting, just sprinkle powdered sugar when cooled.
Easy to make, Great to share.

My sister Hillsomebody told me about this recipe. After I make it, if it's as good as it sounds, I may give it 5 stars.
