  1. I can not believe I forgot to take a photo of this cake. Made it for our anniversary party, including the frosting and it turned out wonderful. Moist and such great flavors and went together easy and looked so pretty. The only thing I did differant was to use recipe#54269 to make sure it was a towering cake (I had a 9" round pan) and added a cream a filling. Used the optional pecans and it was perfect as the center piece to our table. Sure wish I had the photo to show as it was a show stopper. Thanks so much for posting.<br/><br/>As an update to this: I'd made it before but forgot to take a photo so had friends over for a bar b q and decided to make again. This time I also filled the center with recipe#243117 and added with recipe#54269 baking in 8" pans with high sides as I wanted a towering cake and it was sooooo awesome. I had so many compliments and very little left over.

  5. Perfect combination of ingredients. This is a moist cake, with delicious spicy flavors. Kind of reminds me of a frosted carrot cake without all the trouble. Fabulous frosting too.
