Made & reviewed for ZWT 4 ~ Kumquats Kookin' Kaboodles! My son & I made this for the Kid Friendly Forums challenge. I left out the pecans as DS objected & added a little extra choc! We made this in a square pan & LOVED it - thanks for a super & unusual cake :)' -
I can see why this is a winning cake!..this is a high-riser with a wonderful spice taste, I increased the cinnamon to 2 teaspoons and used prepared and cooled instant potatoes for this, and that worked out well. Great cake, thanks mama!...Kitten
