Joel, I just made your wonderful apple cake! I was a bit nervous since it has so much oil and butter. And I did everything within my American willpower not to add cinnamon/nutmeg, etc. But I did add some drops of vanilla, almond and rum flavoring. This is a beautiful cake, for sure. For those reading this, do not cut your apples into slices. You want the chunks! I used 3 apples: two Honeycrisp and one Golden Delicious for a weight of 13 oz or about 3.5-4 cups chunked apples. The lemon topping is wonderful. The only thing I will do different next time ... when I re-flip it, I will keep it on a cooling rack before transferring to the serving plate. Thanks, Joel! I can't wait to bring leftovers to work.

This is such an amazing recipe. I’ve made it like four times and it’s perfect every time. I add a couple of teaspoons of cinnamon to the dry ingredients because we’re a big cinnamon family. Otherwise, I follow your recipe to the letter. Cheers and thank you.

Oh my goodness! This recipe is amazing! For someone like me who struggles with baking, this recipe worked great and it’s really forgiving! I made this recipe multiple times with different kinds of fruit like peaches and nectarines and I was always greeted with wonderful results! Thank you for sharing!

Just made this Apple Cake and must say it’s delicious 😋 The first bake (170c) did take longer than 30 minutes for me. The hint of the lemon zest is fantastic - it doesn’t need the cinnamon (either or in my opinion). Thank you for sharing 🙏

Just took a look at your website and found the coconut and banana cake, it made my mouth water and I will certainly try it before the week is out.

I just made this cake... Tastes like cake heaven, super easy to make, its only flaw: It dissappears in seconds after serving.
Incredible! Thank you for this!

I made this tonight and it needed abit more baking time than 30 minutes for the first stage, but my oh my, it is profoundly delicious! so moist and light and amazing. It's a keeper. And I agree with another comment that cinnamon would be a lovely addition, but its fine without too.

Thank you chef, I tried and was a hit. I added some walnuts as mentioned in one of the comments and that kicked it up a notch. The only two comments I’d add, cook on 350 and put plenty of butter before you pour the batter so to avoid sticking problems when flipping the cake. Thank you again, keep’em coming 😊

I made Two of these today and they were delicious. I added chopped walnuts and cinnamon. Great with ice cream or cream, not to sweet either. Grease the pans well and maybe line with baking paper. I was going to make a Russian Sharlota cake but too many eggs, no butter or oil and reviews weren’t great. I’m glad I choose this one . Thank you for sharing. xx

Where other recipes end with the apple cake, yours is extra special with the addition of the caramelized frosting. Thank you for sharing Joel.
