PLEASE LET ME Know If You Have Tried This, Or ANYOTHER Sugar SUBSTITUTE's , Sincerely, Joanie Davis ??

Wonderful cake! Moist, rich, very tasteful. When the cake was in the oven I re-read the recipe and realized I had forgotten to add the water. But-when the cake was done it didn't seem to have mattered. Next time I will add the water though. Or milk or yogurt like some reviewers have suggested.<br/>Baked it in a loaf pan and it was done in exactly 45 minutes. This is certainly a cake that will be made many more times.<br/>Thanks for posting.

This is very good. I used milk instead of water, like another rater suggested and ground up some sliced almonds (not blanched). But, I recommend taking the time to blanch the almonds and remove the skin because it added a flavor to the cake (which I don't care for). Very nice recipe, I'll have to try it again.

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
