I had great expectations for this cake but was very disappointed. I halved the amount of cloves in the recipe but still found the spice overpowering, and mine (probably my own error) did not rise spectacularly as others noted. It seemed a bit eggy too. Not my cup of tea, but maybe I just don't like spice cake.
