Washington Apple Cake???

[Meekiecheese]

Some years ago, I had a piece of this cake. The hostess said she either got it from the bag of apples or on the radio (this was 13 years ago!!!). The cake was a single pan cake, spicy and sour. I don't think there was any frosting. It was somewhat like a coffee cake. It seemed like it was pretty simple too. Does anyone have this or a similar recipe? THanks!

Welcome to the BB! :)

I found this recipe on the web, not sure if it is what you are looking for, as it has a cream cheese frosting, but thought I would share it. All the recipes I ofund titled" Washington apple cake" had a cream cheese frosting, maybe your friend just left it off?

PS: This recipe definitely does not look light!

Here is my recipe. It is slightly different (uses more sugar, but less oil), and it is not iced. It is very good!
