German Apple Cake

Lately I have become a little bit obsessed with finding new recipes after I discovered TasteSpotting  and FoodGawker also I was STOKED to find my little black book of recipes. It has the famous Banana Cake recipe (I lost this book and tried a recipe for banana cake I found online... that was a sad day) So anyway I brought this little book up with me to school and while my roommates were away I made the German Apple Cake that I discovered on my mission. I don't know how many times I made it but it was always a hit. So here is one of the most delicious cakes ever:
