I made it for my sisters birthday and everybody ate it!

what agreat recipe,,(,") i did it and my mother in low loved it hehehe thanx v.much

I made this cake yesterday night and it came out moist and yummy. I used a bundt pan instead since I didn't have tube pan.

This cake was very moist and delicious but the taste of apples was subtle, still the tastes of chocolate and cinnamon went together very well. Just a little note, the cake was well done after an hour in my oven so I suggest you check your cake before if your oven is new.

This is a great-tasting cake that my family loved. The recipe is very accommodating to variations, as I discovered. You can halve proportions and bake in an 8x8 inch square pan. If you want to speed up baking time, you can bake at 350 instead of 325 and start checking the center for done-ness at around 45 minutes. You can double the amount of cocoa and also increase the apples. I used all whole-wheat flour instead of white flour. I also substituted buttermilk for half the butter, and the finished product was still extremely moist and delicious. The acidity in the buttermilk reacts with the baking soda, so the flavor will not be sour and the reaction will also lighten the cake somewhat.

It was a very flavorful cake. I suggest to add more apple ( don't chop it very small)and chocolate chip.My husband loved it :)I will make it again.

I found this recipe really spicey - but overall super delicious. I made it for the first time on a friday night by the end of the weekend - I had made it 3 times!! By the last one, I used 1/2 a tsp of nutmeg. It was much better - you can taste the cinnamon and chocolate chips a lot more.

I thought this was very good and easy to make. It was especially good cold the next day. My guests really liked it! Yummy!!

I thought this recipe was just ok. Fine, easy to make (actually my 12 year old executed it perfectly, unassisted), but kind of bland, and I'm not sure all the flavors really went together all that well. The spices made it taste pumpkin-y; there was just too much going on. If I were to make it again, I would double the chocolate chips and the apples -- they were the best parts and both were sort of lost in there. My daughter, the cake's baker, didn't even want a whole slice of the cake; she just picked out and ate some of the apples and chocolate chips, if that tells you anything. Frankly, I was tempted to do the same.

Very moist. You don't have to chop apples very finely, and it's OK to reduce the sugar to 1 1/2 cups.

This is a lovely, fragrant, moist cake full of delicious flavour. I used big chunks of chocolate as opposed to chips and added an extra half apple. I also added a sprinkling of ginger which worked well. I will definitley make this one again.

Moist, flavorful. Nice recipe. Just for fun I tried the cake, halving all the ingredients except the apples which I left the same. The 2 apples yielded 3+ cups diced. I baked it in an 8 x 8 inch pan for about 45 min. The result was still a moist, flavorful cake with a stronger apple presence and fewer calories per serving.

very good recipe..instead of white sugar i used brown and used 4 c grated apples instead of the 2 and i cooked it in a 13x9 inch pan for 50 minutes at 325...yummy

I brought this cake in to work today, and it was gone super fast. Everyone loved it. Super moist, with a unique blend of apples & chocolate. I used the miniature chocolate chips instead of the regular ones and that seemed to fix the sinking chocolate problem. I will definately be making this cake again in the future.

This cake did not turn out at all as I expected. It was very dense, with a consistency more like a brownie or cookie than a cake. Although I would not describe the cake as particularly flavorful, it still managed to overpower the apples. My husband who hasn't met a desert that he hasn't liked had to force himself to finish his slice, and suggested I take it to the office with me. Normally he would be finding excuses for why it should stay home. All in all I was very disappointed. If I want something like this in the future, I will probably just take my favorite chocolate bundt cake recipe and add some spices and apples.

very moist and chocolate chips make it really yummy

Fantastic cake. This was so very simple to make. I made it in a bunt pan. The kids helped, apples were larger than i would have chopped but they loved it. I added walnuts to mine. The kids really loved it. The chocolate with the spices really creates an unusual flavor that works perfectly. I can't wait to make this again, it would be just perfect warm with cinnamon flavored whipped cream and a cup of hot cider.
