"This is a great recipe that I got from my friend Jo Ann. It's good as a round layer cake with (healthy) icing or warm as a slab cake with a mound of whipped cream on each serving. (Note: After receiving a mediocre review, I have changed the recipe to use light spelt flour rather than regular. You should not have a problem with light spelt flour.)"

Sorry not to give this a great review. I made it for my son's birthday cake, and it didn't rise at all. It also was a bit lacking in flavour. I bake almost exclusively with spelt flour, and this didn't measure up to my expectations. I ended up baking a second cake for his party instead.
