to save time, I used a spice cake mix and just added the mayo, milk, apples, nuts, and raisins. Yummy!! - 21 Feb 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I've been making this cake with consistently excellent results for over 25 years. I make a homemade buttercream frosting that I frost similarly to a german chocolate cake - just between the layers and on top, not the sides. It the most requested cake for family get togethers. - 09 Aug 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Ran out of milk; just used water and it was still moist. I put a caramel frosting on it instead of the cream...yummy. So easy; like the "dump" cakes. - 07 Jul 2001 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
