Apple Dapple Cake
This cake has been passed down for generations in my family and is at every family get-together. We also make this cake as mini loaves of bread to give as gifts to neighbors and friends. The smell and first bite transports you straight to mamaw’s house at the holidays and brings back such sweet memories.

Can you make this cake in a Bundt pan.
Laura Ashley
Yes, you can. The cake takes about 1 hr 15 minutes to 1 hr 30 minutes to cook through in a bundt pan.

Hi,I've made this cake twice and it's now a favorite in our house. Could you tell me how long I would need to bake this in a mini loaf pan?
Laura Ashley
That’s WONDERFUL!!! I’m SO excited that you made it not only once, but twice! YAY!! The time on the loaf will depend on the size of pan you use. We did mini loaves, about 4 inches wide, and I believe they were 35-40 minutes. I’ve made it as cakes so long, that I need to try the loaves again. Insert a cake tester to make sure 😉
