  1. So there’s no mention of pan size but it looks like a Bundt. And would call 350F moderate?

  1. I was pleasantly surprised by this cake. It is _incredibly_ moist and yet has an almost crunchy crust to it. Elegant, indeed, Woodland Hues! Simple-tasting, but still "more-ish". My changes: 2 t. malted milk powder (Horlicks) instead of cocoa, and 3 t. baking powder added to self-raising flour (instead of baking soda). I baked mine in three bread tins -- the two tins with two inches of batter for an extra ten minutes. These latter two browned very nicely in the extra time.
     
  2. This is really good, my hubby had his doubts that something made with milk that has gone bad could be good but hee was very impressed. He suggested I leave the milk out on the counter so I would have to make more. I left the recipe as-is except I hate raisins so I tried it with dried cranberrys and another time I used various dried fruit and both times it was wonderful.
     
  3. Lovely, moist cake, a bit spongy texture. It fit perfectly in my 6 cup Bundt pan. I replaced raisins with chocolate chips. Unfortunately, they sunk to the bottom of the pan. Next time, I'll try putting half the batter in then chips, then remaining batter, for a chocolaty center. I baked it at 375°F.
     
  4. This is a modest yet elegant little cake, moist, almost spicy, not quite chocolaty. I used Splenda in place of sugar, worked fine. I baked at 350F for 25 minutes, using an 8" round pan.
