I thought this was a very good recipe. I was looking for some to make with my blackberries, other then cobblers, when I came upon this recipe.<br/><br/>Since I like clove and nutmeg I tried using what the author called the original recipe. If you decide to do this, at the most use 1/2 tsp of each or even just a 1/4 tsp of each. The flavor was just too strong otherwise. Even the overpowering clove and nutmeg taste of the cake I made it was still delicious and I will try it again.<br/><br/>Still contemplating on an icing for it though.
