I first had this cake at a friend's house about 10 years ago. I begged her for the recipe for two weeks before she finally gave in and honored me with the recipe. It's a little time consuming, but you end up with a very elegant and delicious cake.

This is a recipe that I clipped from a flyer in the Sunday paper some time ago. Since it's a little different than the other apple spice cakes on Zaar, I thought I'd share it. Because bake times and servings are dependent on the pan size you choose, the times I have given here are approximate.
