I used raw sugar and only used 1/4 cup and surprisingly sweet enough for me. Mine is a bit soggy, i should have followed Andrew Watts in the previous comment or add more flour ? But we still love it, the house smells amazing too.

maybe J.O. makes this in 5mins but it takes me about 20ish... awesome cake!! Squeezing the apple gratings will reduce the liquid if your cakes are coming out too soggy..

Made the Banana cake for the first time on the weekend and was pleasantly surprised it not only turned out but tasted good too. Very easy to make and my 16 year old son loved it.
