(2 ratings)
This has a gazillion calories per serving, but when you taste it you'll say "who cares?". Great for a dessert to impress at your next potluck or office . The cake is a tweaked version of my mother-in-law's apple cake, but I conjured up the icing myself based on my praline candy recipe. You are going to love this cake.
