This is very good cake. The spice combination is nice. It reminds me of gingerbread boys somehow. I cut the recipe in half to make one loaf, but followed the recipe for all ingredients and proportions. It went together very quickly and easily. Thank you very much for this recipe.

Awesome cake, popular with my dinner guests. I changed the recipe a bit to make it more healthy: less sugar (reduced to 2 cups total) and less fat (reduced butter to 1/2 cup and increased applesauce to 2-1/2 cups). I also replaced the raisins with currants and left out the nuts to make it easier for my young toddler to eat. For the adults I served this with warm caramel sauce and toasted walnuts as a topping. Very good!
