Perfect compactness, perfect moistnessSeptember 18, 2009By claremead
"The title is the comment my 13-year-old son made when I baked this cake the first time. I've currently got my third one in the oven. I make my own applesauce, just apples, no sugar, and this cake really lets you taste the fresh bite of the new fall apples. My husband, who is not much for sweets, loves this cake for its not-too-sweet, spicy, apple-y flavor."
