I was really surprised when I found this recipe.. it's almost EXACTLY like the one I make. The only difference is I use 1 full teaspoon of all of the spices and only two eggs. I also serve it with cream cheese frosting.. it's always gone over GREAT.
This cake is amazing! I have to admit I've never made it with this frosting I always use "Allspice Cream Cheese Frosting" found also on the wonderful website. I can't tell you how many times I've made it for many different people and it's always a hit.
Not my favorite. I found that the cake was very bland. Not enough spices and tasted very eggie:(
It tasted good but it looked scary when it was done. I don't think I beat the frosting enough even though I did it for 40 minutes. So after I frosted the cake it looked very frothy an hour later. Two 9" pans work well with this recipe I would just use different frosting.:)
I tried this recipe with the Cream Cheese Frosting II (basic) with 1 tsp cinnamon. It tastes really great with the extra spice added.
I baked this cake for my Husband's birthday...It turned out great...I didn't need to add cornstarch...It also tasted like pumkin too....
It's a little dry but would make it again using the frosting as a filler as well. To the person that took 40 minutes for the frosting you must have had some egg yoke mixed in with the white of the egg. If that happens start again because no amount of whipping will make the yokes stiff.
This recipe was a failure. It smelled bette than it tasted. It didn't have enough taste to it. I thought it was bad but maybe it's an aquired taste.
The frosting would go nice on a regular cake but not like a bundt cake as shown the frosting is creative but the cake tastes very bland. I agree witht he review that said it smells good when baking the taste leaves a LOT to be desired.
