Very good indeed. Great if you don't want a sweet heavy chocolatety cake. Got even better the next day, nice and moist but not heavy. Will definitely make again.

This was a nice moist spice cake,will omit the nuts next time as my family prefers spice cakes without. I added the spices from recipe # 16060, which was also good but on the dry side. This cake is very moist and not heavy. Made it with Allspice Cream Cheese Frosting # 26442 which is very good with this type of cake !

Very good, but a little heavy on the cloves, even though I followed the advice/opinions of others and decreased the amount from 1 1/4 tsp to just 1 tsp. That was about the only spice we could taste. HOWEVER, I don't want to dissuade anyone from trying this recipe! Just that for our tastes, the clove was heavy, and next time I make it, I'll try 1/2 tsp and see how that works out. We topped our cake with a basic cream cheese icing, and as an overall, the cake texture and moistness were fine, and it was easy to make.
