Wow! What a great cake! We had it for dessert tonite, with guests & all of them wanted the recipe! Really moist and very flavorful cake!

This was the best everyday cake that I have ever made--even though we had it without the frosting. Although I didn't use the nuts (as my son doesn't like nuts) the four of us loved this cake and devoured every crumb. This was the perfect ending to a spicy Chinese meal. Thanks Marie for posting this delicious keeper. We will be having it again very soon.
