This cake was yummy! It had a pretty nice texture for being lowfat and baked up nice and fluffy. I felt it needed a little something and will probably add some cinnamon or nutmeg next time. Of course I seved it warm with ice cream - so much for lowfat :) - and it made a nice light dessert - thanks for sharing!
