This was a great cake with supper icicng. I only had to bake my cake for 25 minutes so my cake was a little dark beacuse I set the timer for 40 minutes. I will be making this one again. Thanks for posting. -
I think you need to adjust the cooking time. 40-45 minutes is way too long. My cake was ruined at 30 when I checked it. I'll have to try again someday with a much shorter baking time. It sounds like it would be a delicious cake. -
Can I omit the lemon juice? Maybe substitute it?? -
Eh. Fine. The pros are that this cake is unique and moist and tender, but it really lacked flavor and was pretty dense, kind of like a fruitcake. Maybe it needs salt or coconut, I don't know. It comes out spongy and really bends when you slice it. Though it wasn't offensiv I really can't see making it again. I divided mine into two layer pans and baked for 35 minutes, which was perfect. -
This is a very good cake. Loved the cream cheese icing. It went perfect with the cake. Thanks for posting .

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
