Great tasting cake! The spice was right-on and synonymous with the apple. Yum. The only thing I would do differently with the cream cheese filling is to refrigerate (or quickly place in the freezer) to prevent it from spreading to the edges and allow it to be more tunnel-like. But, regardless, it is a wonderfully tasting cake and perfect with tea or coffee. Thank you, Deely, for sharing. Made it for Pick me and What's on the Menu tag games.

This is one great cake! I added some nuts to the topping which turned out to be a lovely addition. After all, who doesn't like nuts? I know we do! The cake was moist and the filling was delish. Mmmmmmm good!
