MizzNezz, this was, indeed, excellent! Easy and quick to put together...and just the right size for a party of 4! I usually tweak recipes even just a little to suit our own personal tastes but I didn't change a thing when I made this cake (although next time I might use Kahlua instead of the water!). I even baked it for exactly 45 minutes! I don't know if it was suppose to turn out this way, but the texture of the cake was pleasantly fudgey! I will absolutely be making this again and again! Thanks for a great recipe! M&Mers

Oh, MizzNezz, you are so smart and so talented! What a delicious cake! Great for our small family. I like to make a treat once in a while on the weekend, but usually end up with too much and we eat cake all week, or throw it out. This was just enough for a weekend diversion from our diet. And WHAT a cake! It was just delicious. I left off the chocolate chips, because it was father's day and DH just likes his cake plain; so I kept it simple. Thank you so much, there's a reason you're number 1!!!

This was a good cake, it wasn't quite chocolatey enough for me and I did make a few changes. I replaced the coconut and pecan with toasted slivered almonds. And subbed brandy as suggested for the water. It did turn out so pretty with the almonds that I didn't add the chocolate chips because I didn't want to spoil the effect. Thanks!!

MizzNezz, this was excellent. The perfect size for the two of us. I used walnuts because we prefer them, and omitted the choc-chips because there's no kids at our house. And it was wonderful. It baked in 35 mins. The suggestion of using Kahlua instead of water is intriguing. I must try that. Thanks for sharing this great little recipe.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
