Lovely cake! I cut the flour down to 3 c. I used butter in place of the shortening. After sitting overnight, the cake is much more moist than when it just came from the oven. It reminds us of gingerbread; very subtle spice and quite delicious. I put a simple brown sugar glaze over it and baked it in a Bundt pan for almost an hour. Thanks for a wonderful spice cake recipe.
