This cake baked up beautifully! A nice rise, lovely flavor and so easy to make. The only thing I deviated was I added clove, allspice and cardamon, and mixed the spices with the sugar before proceeding with the remainder of the recipe. No icing needed, just used powdered sugar. This was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Thank you for posting!
