Colonial Apple Cake

This is a really great, and easy, bundt cake recipe.  It is actually the cake we used as our groom's cake in our wedding.  We had a fall wedding and it was fitting for our fall themed reception.  I had made mine for work so when I thought of taking the picture of it I had already had it wrapped in plastic wrap.  Oh well, at least I remembered to take a picture of it.  Also, the original recipe called for 1/2 c chopped dates and 1t of lemon peel that I usually end up leaving out.  I have also substituted some of the oil with applesauce to cut down on some of the fat and calories.
