  1. We made this for my husband's birthday and we enjoyed it very much! Very easy to make and a keeper -- only change was using egg beaters for the egg whites. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. I really enjoyed this cake. I thought it had a very nice texture and also really liked the fact that it wasn't overly sweet. I used 1 cup splenda and 1/2 c sugar (was scared to omit sugar entirely) and it turned out fine! I also substituted the yogurt for sour cream because I didn't have any yogurt at the time. OK, too. Thanks for the recipe!
