my gram made itwith brown sugar icing  u had to leave in the fridge for a while it was so moist. no one has the redipe it ld  ayone ever hear of it  from missouri

Norma (NJJ) does alot of baking, I bet she just might know the cake that you are talking about. Sounds really good

Have you tryed Google? I have found more then a few recipes for it on google, and they look really good too. 

My recipe doesn't call for a brown sugar "icing" but it is very moist and goes really well with whipped cream (Cool Whip)

Mix together

1 Cup Sugar      1/2 Cup Crisco     1 egg 

Mix in 1/2 cup warm coffee

Then mix in:

2-1/2 Cup flour      1/2 tsp cinnamon    1/2 tsp. soda    and 3 apples (peeled and diced)

Spread into 9 x 13 pan

Top with a mixture of 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cups nuts (I use pecans)

Bake 30 minutes @ 350 deg.

Oh my gosh that SOUNDS SO GOOD!!!!!

My grandmother would bake 4-5 different apple pies for Rosh Hashanah each year   One of my favorites was her apples and honey pie. Mmmmm

What do you mean "raw?" Is it not baked? 

I make Apple bread all the time. It's very moist. My husband and the guys he works with love it

oh man that sounds good! I have to do low sugar, dairy free and grain free.... for anyone that has to do the same check out danielle walkers apple cake recipe. ITS soo good and everyone loves it even if they can eat anything they want. https://againstallgrain.com/2011/12/10/gluten-free-grain-free-apple-spice-coffe-cake/

Ooh, looks like tasty cake if I've ever seen one. It's a shame I'm a klutz at the kitchen though.
