I substituted lemon juice for the oj [but used less than 1/4c] and used self-rising flour instead of baking soda and AP flour. It's in the oven right now and I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out! :) PS - Let's hope this gets me a good grade for the project I'm making it for <3 -Jay I found this recipe after searching for a simpler version than what I had [the one I had needed wheat flour and TONS of other stuff] and I had a blast making a mess in the kitchen making this.

Cooking has really been my passion since I was a young child and now that I'm married and 6 months pregnant, you have really inspired me in a new way. I've been struggling with some inexplicable hormonal nonsense and I haven't had any desire to cook or be cooked for. I bought a bag of local honeycrisp apples yesterday and decided it was time to feel good again. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I'm sure my new husband will love the cake and I will be able to carry this on with me and hopefully my daughter will one day enjoy it as much as I did. Deb,

Any suggestions to adapt this recipe to regular size (not mini) cupcakes? Thanks! The recipe is GREAT. 2 of us finished this huge cake in 3 days, lol! so much for my diet Hi, I scrolled through and saw a mention of cupcake adaptation for this recipe but I didn’t know if it succeeded or not.

Made the cake in a think bundt cake pan, greased it with butter. It came out beautifully, impressed my guests and husband, and most importantly the cake is delicious! I love to cook but I am always hesitant to bake Second recipe from this blog to make it to my favorite recipe folder. Thank you. Another happy customer.

I lightly whipped some unsweeted cream and garnished it with that. Delicious! Fattening! wonderful! Mikal, someone above mentioned a confectioner’s sugar glaze made with orange juice.

I suspect it may be overkill, but my daughter is asking for one. just wondering, do you think you could suggest a glaze to go on top? I suspect it may be overkill, but my daughter is asking for one.
