  1. Very good indeed. Great if you don't want a sweet heavy chocolatety cake. Got even better the next day, nice and moist but not heavy. Will definitely make again.
     
  2. This was a nice moist spice cake,will omit the nuts next time as my family prefers spice cakes without. I added the spices from recipe # 16060, which was also good but on the dry side. This cake is very moist and not heavy. Made it with Allspice Cream Cheese Frosting # 26442 which is very good with this type of cake !
     
  3. Very good, but a little heavy on the cloves, even though I followed the advice/opinions of others and decreased the amount from 1 1/4 tsp to just 1 tsp. That was about the only spice we could taste. HOWEVER, I don't want to dissuade anyone from trying this recipe! Just that for our tastes, the clove was heavy, and next time I make it, I'll try 1/2 tsp and see how that works out. We topped our cake with a basic cream cheese icing, and as an overall, the cake texture and moistness were fine, and it was easy to make.
     
  4. I added a layer of apples to bottom of pan, tossed them in 2 Tbsp of sugar 1 Tsp cinnamon and 2 Tbsp of lemon juice. poured the mix over the apples and spread evenly bake at same temp but add 5 minutes. Turned out great!
     
  5. I live in a higher elevation and normally I have to add more flour to everything and adjust the temperature- but the mix seemed pretty thick already so I left the recipe alone. The cake was dense and crumbled all apart and had nothing to bond it together- extremely dry. It's my husbands birthday so I had to attempt it again- I added 3/4 cup of milk and another egg- and it turned out just ok : ( .

  1. This cake came out wonderful. I used pecans instead of walnuts, and topped with cream cheese icing. I will be adding it to our Thanksgiving menu!

A people's person who never entertains one thing in life -- larger than life EGO of people. My hobbies are numerous and diverse. They range from being an avid reader to decorating home, loving cats, embroidery, painting, writing poems and letters to friends, endless thinking, collecting candles, music, trying various cuisines and reaching out to people. I love cooking and devising ways to smash set patterns of cooking. I do not like over use of spices in the cooking and am dead against using readymade or canned ingredients. Cooking is my favourite prescription for busting all the stress that I accumulate in the work place.
