WOW!!! This went right into my 10 STAR book! This is absolutely delicious! This will be made often during the fall and winter seasons. Great flavor and VERY dense and moist. Really liked the honey flavor. I made one change. I used the pecans as called for, but also added 1/4 cup unsalted pumpkin seeds, which worked great. Served with a dollop of whipped cream. Thanks for this keeper! Made for Fall 2011 PAC game.
