Made this as is on Easter, 2008 to go with Dark Chocolate Ice Cream (#27086)--needed something to somewhat tone down the richness of the ice cream. What a great combination!! Everybody took a copy of this recipe home. I didn't use the glaze as we were serving ice cream--glaze would add that little of sweetness. Thanks.

Very good cake, & really easy to put together. I did make a couple of adjustments (due to DH's dietary restrictions & personal preference): substituted 1/2 c unsweetened applesauce for 1/2 c of the butter, and replaced the sugar with granulated Splenda. I didn't use the nuts, as DH can't have them right now - but I will try the recipe again with nuts when he can. I also made a glaze with Splenda using 1-1/2 cups with about a tablespoon of skim milk, added a little vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon. The cake is really good as an afternoon snack with a hot cup of tea. Thanks for posting! -M =)

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
