In reply to Elaine. Thanks Elaine! You do add the pecans to the crumb topping. I've updated the recipe. Sorry for the oversight. Enjoy!

Sounds wonderful. I have a recipe similar but just a cake not a coffee cake. I’m a bit confused as it doesn’t say when to add the pecans. Since I’m off to make this now and in the ingredient listing pecans as close to crumb topping recipe, I’ll just add them to that. I will nix the raisins as to many in my family do not care for them. I can’t wait–YUMMY!!!!

I enjoyed this cake, but I did make a few adjustments. I always find stuff too sweet, so I cut the sugar to 1-1/2 cups. Likewise I kept the streusel (crumb topping) but ditched the icing. It does not need it. The result was plenty sweet enough.

Also I understand that cloves are strong and that 2 tsp is a lot, but don’t be that afraid. I compromised with 1 tsp. and it worked out beautifully.

Then because there are only two of us, I cut the whole recipe in half. I am a fan of small batch baking and an 8X8 pan is still lots. I loved the result, but next time I will ditch the raisins. I don’t think they added much to the cake.

Hi Chris – honestly, I’m not sure. Just looking at the top it doesn’t look quite level, but if you’re going to cover it with frosting, it would probably be fine.

Hi B,

Do you think that this applesauce cake would make a good two layer cake in the 9 by 13 size? I would make it twice and then stack the layers a la construction cake. Or, do you think it would be too dense?

THANKS.
