    Great recipe! Instead of a bundt pan, I used a large rectangle pan, about 9x16 or the like....it really helped the cake bake more evenly and without any risk of undercooking. I also added a chopped apple, for the crunchiness! I put in 1/2 tsp of nutmeg and a heaping 1 tsp of cinnamon... I also replaced 1/2 c. of the white flour with 1/2 c. whole wheat... SO good! :
    Thanks!

    There is a HUGE caveat to my 4 stars. I used a bundt pan and followed the baking directions. Leaving the cake in the pan will not (I repeat, will not finish cooking the cake. Mine was half raw. I had planned on giving this as a gift, but will have to remake it. Please do yourself a favor and cook the cake until it tests done using a wooden toothpick. Great flavor, though. I love Gale Gand (she's brilliant, but incorrect baking instructions is such a disappointment and inconsistent with her recipes. And I am not an inexperienced baker. PLEASE make your adjustments accordingly before you make this cake.

    This cake was great. I liked everything about it. Nice texture, good crust on top and good flavor. Would definitely make again. I put it in a loaf pan and it took a lot longer to cook then recipe said.

    This cake was very moist. Although I put in cloves instead of nutmeg by mistake..hahaha, it still turned out delicious. I baked it in a bundt pan.

    First.... does not fit in a loaf pan and it has baked all over the sides (I am not a baker by nature....... so far has taken well over an hour to bake :(

    Can't wait to taste

    Very Good... I did not use nutmeg, raisins or nuts. But I think next time I will use chunky applesauce. I will make this again...Mmmmmm good! Enjoy....

    This was DELICIOUS!!

    I didn't have any brown sugar so i substituted with half and half of white sugar and cinnamon sugar. I left out the cinnamon powder and followed the rest of the recipe until the end where i added a tablespoon of peanut butter and a handful of cherries!!

    Perfectly moist, not at all too sweet - just perfect!!

    I left out the walnuts and raisins because I didn't have any but ths cake works with any extras!!

    Thanks!!

    WAY too sweet and took much longer to bake than the recipe says. I'm going to try this one again because it has potential but I am going to cut the sugar by half.

    An excellent cake! Moist and delicious! I did not pack my brown sugar because it didn't say to (most recipes do and who needs that much sugar anyway. I also lightly spooned my flour and stirred in spices a with whisk rather than sift. I used homemade applesauce because it's so easy and tastes so much better with no added sugar from jarred applesauce. I didn't add raisins or walnuts because those that would be eating it are too fussy. Next time I make it MY way....and probably eat it all by myself! :o

    Very delicious. I even made a mistake by placing 2 t. of baking powder instead of baking soda and it still came out delicious. As a matter of fact once I found out I had added the baking powder I went on ahead and added 2 t. of baking soda and the cake still came out delicious. It was very moist and flavorful. Would recommend it to anyone. Enjoy.
