Comments
This cake was a big hit.
I made it to take in for a staff morning tea and not only was it gone in a flash but it also received many favourable comments.
After reading all the comments, I followed others’ leads and cut the apples down (I only used 250gm) and the sugar (I used 100gm).
I baked it in a 20cm square cake tin, which was a perfect size.
I was a bit worried that the topping was too liquidy when I poured it on the cake but it was fine after it had been cooked in the oven.
I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for a yummy recipe!
Fabulous success! Based on other comments I cut the apples back to 300g and the sugar to 100g. We love it!
Cooked cake an extra 40 minutes but it was still soggy. Overly sweet so ended up throwing it away. Crunchy topping is nice.
Lumberjack cake is one of my favourites so I was really happy to find a thermie recipe for it.
I made this cake tonight and I am taking what's left of it to work tomorrow so I can't keep eating it.
I did make a few adjustment. I used 300gm of apple and added an extra 40 gms of flour. I also baked it for an hour initially after reading all the comments about the cake being too wet. These adjustments resulted in a beautiful moist and very moreish cake. Thanks for sharing
The first time I made this, I didn't have enough Apple, so used only half the amount. The cake turned out perfect! The second time I made it, I used the full amount of apple and although I baked it for double the time, it was still way too moist. Will use half the apple next time!
Very Yummy, agree perhaps a tad too sweet...but yummy - and is it meant to be that soggy or was mine not cooked properly? I cooked it longer than the reccommended time - but still soggy - not sure if it was meant to be like that - yummy anyway
Lovely cake, thanks.
This is a family favourite around christmas time, so glad someone has transferred it to a thermo recipe - thankyou! As mentioned above there is an error with the wording in step 2 and you seemed to have left out the adding of the vanilla in the steps?
Mine is in the oven cooking - can't wait to taste it - I went the whole hog on the sugar
Very nice cake, thanks for posting
Great recipe. Super easy indeed, but would be great if you could make the instructions a little clearer and place the ingredients in order of steps eg, water, vanilla essence. Just a suggestion, thanks for the share though, super yummy!
