This cake never gets old. Our oldest son just asked for his birthday cake. He’s 23!

This sounds delicious! What kind of coconut/brand? Sweetened or unsweetened? Also, how do you recommend shredding apples?

In reply to Jaren. This cake is so, so good and the sauce is absolute magic!!! I forgot the orange juice when I went shopping but it was yummy without it. I did make a change with the spices. I used 1 1/2 tsps of cinnamon and added apple pie spice, nutmeg and ginger. I also added vanilla extract and bourbon to the sauce. This was my first time making an apple cake but won't be my last. I've already added this recipe to my list of favorites.

In reply to Maria. I have not made it in loaf pans. I would decrease the baking time more than likely, but keep temperature the same. I have made it in a bundt pan, and sliced it once it was completely cooled and packaged it up into 2 different containers to deliver to my school offices.

In reply to Jaren.

Can I make this using 2 loaf pans ?
I will be packing in a case so easier for traveling
Should I shorten length of baking time and keep same temperature?

When papa Dean originally made this cake on her show she said to use a 10″ tube Pan. She said most butt pants are not big enough and the cake will rise too high or overflow. Also the original recipe called for chopped apples not grated apples. I like doing the chopped in different sizes so you can see some chunks of Apple in the cake.
