This recipe was quick and easy. I tried it out on my coworkers and they all have to have the recipe! I have made it 3 times in one week and it is quickly becoming famous. I do recommend using 1/4 teaspoon cloves instead of 1 teaspoon. Also I didn't need to cook as long as the recipe said. This recipe also works great witht he KitchenAide stand mixer.
I didn't have a flute pan so I put the batter into a muffin pan (with paper liners) and baked for 20 minutes at 375 degrees F. They came out perfectly - moist and delicious! The batter doesn't rise very much so they don't have the big muffin tops some people like but they are still wonderful. The recipe yielded 17 muffins and my boyfriend ate about 4 as soon as they came out of the oven!!
This cake is quite good but I just can't leave anything without putting my mark on it I plumped raisins by soaking them in fresh orang juice and of course increased the the spices. But still very good
Fantastic - Every time I make this it disappears within a day!!! I used chunky applesauce for a different texture - fabulous.
I was concerned about a cake with no eggs but this was wonderful. Very light moist and perfect in spice flavor. Reminds me of the taste of Boston Brown Bread but so light in texture. Used the most applesauce of all the recipes I saw. Hats off to your family's recipe!
This was a great cake and easy to make. I didn't have a tube pan so I used 2 8X8 pans. The recipes was delicious. Thanks for sharing!
This recipe was easy to make and turned out very moist. My husband and children loved it but it was a little bland for my taste. I think I would try a little more spice next time.
Delicious! I made half a recipe. I used golden raisins, which I soaked in hot water for a few minutes. I baked it in an 8-inch square pan for 30 minutes. It smelled great while baking and had a very good flavor and texture; not overly sweet and just the right amount of spice.
Excellent dense and sweet. My mom added a bit too much salt but even so it was great.
This was an easy recipe to follow and gather the ingredients for! I didn't have a mixer to cream the butter and sugar so I manually 'swished' it with my hands. That worked fine. I didn't have a tube pan to cook with so I used a rectangular bread one. Not a good choice.. the top got burnt but was able to be peeled off easily. (Definitely use the recommended pan.) The end result was nice and full of spice! However it proved to be too a little too sweet for me. The raisins are also a great addition to the cake. Perhaps using an unsweetened apple sauce would be better.
