I found this recipe when I was looking to use up a jar of apple butter a friend gave me. It is a great cake! I did some modifications; brown sugar instead of white; walnuts instead of pecans; instant oats instead of bran/wheat germ. Perfect for potluck or church socials - no messy frosting.

It is delicious - I baked it in a bundt cake pan and it was also very pretty -
Very moist delicious cake. Would make a good breakfast cake. I made mine in a bundt pan and layered with 1/2 crumb mixture 1/2 batter crumb batter. Scrumptious!! I also made the 'All Day Apple Butter' recipe from this site and used it in this recipe.
Wonderful moist cake! A real treat. The batter was thicker than I expected and I thought I made a mistake but the result was a big hit with everyone.
I made muffins out of this recipe. I used APPLE CIDER apple butter and I cut the sugar in the actual bread recipe in half. For muffins there was a little too much topping (and imo I think the topping needs butter more like a streusel) but I'm not complaining.;) I can't stop eating it. Quite moist slightly chewy and VERY flavorful one of the BEST quick breads I've had in a long time.
The recipe as written has 2x as much sugar as I'd want! So minus a few stars for that. I made it healthier with whole wheat flour reduced the butter a little plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and cut the sugar in HALF - it was still a little too sweet for my tastes. Otherwise it was moist and tasty will make again - with less sugar.
Outstanding recipe for a great coffee cake for a brunch. I added 1/2c. of cinnamon chips and a chopped Gala apple- Excellent!
I only made this to use up some applebutter but this recipe is a keeper. It is worth buying the apple butter just to make the cake. Delish!
This was a good coffee type cake - but for me it was not as good as the "Graham Struessal" cake found on this site. I had given that cake FIVE stars and for some reason - I suppose because they are both coffee type cakes - everyone in my family said "It is not as good as the cake you made last week". I will probably just stick to that one - although this was tasty. So..because of that I need to give this FOUR!
