This was good but I did change it up a bit. I used one cup sugar and one cup splenda. Instead of all the oil I used one cup of applesauce and 1/2 cup of canola oil. I also used one cup white flour and one cup of wheat. I didn't add the pecans or the coconut and didn't add the icing. We all enjoyed this. We ghouth it could use a bit more cinnamon though. I cooked it in a bundt pan for 45 minutes.

Hi! I'm from Germany but I have been living in the States for quite a while now. I do like living here but I miss German food!
Right know I work at a seafood restaurant and go to college where I work towards an Associate Degree in Nutrition; my real passion is cooking, though. I actually consider switching majors, or double majoring. We'll see...
