This is the original recipe from the Brown Derby and was served with their famous Cobb Salad. It does not seem like a “French” dressing at all by today’s standards and would make a very flavorful red wine vinaigrette for many purposes.

Cake with Brown Derby French dressing?? Doubly weird.
That looks like an amazing cake!
The boundaries team! I too am trying more baking, and love apples in desserts… Looking good here…
I’m loving apple season right now, and this is one more recipe that makes me want to get baking with some apples! Looks delicious with the crumb topping.

You also don’t leave a slimy trail where ever you go and you actually LIKE kosher salt!
Nice looking cake Greg.
Beautiful apple cake! You should submit this recipe to Recipe4Living.com! 🙂
I am so on an apple kick lately, making Calvados apple jelly, I love the sound of this cake with the 5 spice and apple sauce, a perfect addition to a hot cup of tea, on a rainy overcast day. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to what new combinations you cook up. Not a baker, ha!
Gorgeous cake! I love the 5 spice here! Looking forward to seeing more apple recipes!
Been looking for a dessert idea for Thanksgiving. This will be a hit- thanks!!
for the day you do one of those daring baker type of cakes that take skill, and hours and hours, and we can say “I knew him when.”
The cake looks beautiful, before and after baking, and I imagine it tasted just as wonderful. By the time this week is over, all the apples I managed to pick before the snow arrived will be spoken for. I can hardly wait!
Aromatic, deep and rich apple cake, it must tastes divine!! 🙂
Cheers!

I love the addition of the calvados cream. Your becoming a fantastic baker, let me know when you graduate to layer cakes. You may be able to convince me to share my secret frosting recipe.
ohhh I just love this one! I would eat it for breakfast too
Looks delicious!!
I’ll be waiting for the day when I see you bake some bread. lol.
Lovely cake. I love the different spices in it. This is definitely a different kind of cake.
A crumble topping and Calvados cream…thought I already had a dessert selected for this weekend’s dinner party…now that I have found this one, I’m no so sure!
That is a great cake, both pretty and the best autumn flavors. Yay to you for making such an outstanding cake. This is the kind we love for breakfast and snack.
