This cake is a bit dense for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

I baked this cake in a bundt pan instead of a tube pan. It turned out beautifully.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the chopped walnuts with dried cranberries. It was delicious!

The cake was a little too sweet for my liking. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

I made a few substitutions due to allergies. I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour, and maple syrup instead of granulated sugar. It came out great! My family loved it.

I followed the recipe precisely, and my apple tube cake didn't rise properly. It was super dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.
