"Light in both color and texture, this cake uses a surprise ingredient and goes well with ice cream. It's somewhat reminiscent of gingerbread."

As an update - as noted I'd made this recipe earlier then realized I'd done something wrong - left out the baking poweder (guess old age is creeping up on me) so made it again and as you can see by the picture it made a major differance in appearance. State was pretty much the same - just highger a lighter. Still didn't get the gingerbread taste but very light in color and texture.

My job takes me on the road all the time - 40,000+ miles a year. When I get home I relax by cooking. My wife is both my guinea pig and my fan club. We've raised a house full of boys - one son, several nephews, a rotating cast of hungry friends - and they've cooperated through the years by filling up on my experiments. My "nom de chef" (TOM) stands for what the boys call me, "The Old Man."
