I read the reviews. I decided to cut the recipe in half. Also used 1/3 cup of oil and 1/3 cup of applesause. I added more spices. When I put the can of pineapple in a strainer. I put the raisins in a bowl so the pineapple juice would cover them and they would be plump and take on some added flavor. This is a great cake. Thank You Ina. I feel the next day, the flavors mellow together. I can not wait till tomorrow.

I agree with many of the other reviews, in that, 1 1/3 cups of oil seemed to be too many and also that some nutmeg would add to the flavor. I also felt that the recipe made a generous amount of delicious frosting. SO, I adjusted the oil to 2/3 cup and added 2/3 cup applesauce. I also added 2 tsp ground nutmeg. Finally, I equally divided the batter into 3 8in. rounds and baked for approximately 45 min. I enjoyed it as a triple layer more than as a double layer. It just seemed to have a better distribution of cake to frosting. Also, when I made this, I used a small can of crushed pineapple, drained. Don't be afraid to make this cake, it is FABULOUS!!!

This was a wonderful cake. I did omit the nuts, but I did everything else just like Ina. Thanks Ina, you never let me down.

I'm an excellent cook but not much of a baker. This is the best cake I've ever baked in my 65 year life and my husband says it is the best ever!

The frosting is so smooth and delicious! I tried the cake recipe exactly as it was given. However, for some reason the raisins ended up having a strange bitter flavor. I may have done something wrong. Next time I think
I will omit the raisins and add more pineapple. Thanks, Ina, for sharing all of your recipes with us!

I made this by request for a birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. I did replace 2/3c of the oil with applesauce and added nutmeg, as prior reviewers recommended, and it came out super moist. Fairly quick and easy to make, especially if you have a Cuisinart to do the shredding!
