  1. I made this this past Sunday for a family get together. What a wonderful treat it was. Everyone loved it. I did make it in a 9X13 pan, and baked it approximately 10 minutes longer. Worked out wonderfully. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
     
  2. Everyone loved the cake and even asked to lick the frosting from the bowl. :) But for me it's too sweet. I would reduce the sugar next time.
     
  3. Exceptional recipe, and the frosting is also good not only for this cake but for other fall treats (spread it on graham crackers or apple slices or cornbread).
     
  4. Very pretty cake but was very rich.
     
  5. This is a great cake. I love the texture. It's one of those cakes that tastes better the next day. I took it to work and it became history in a hurry. Thanks again, NurseDi. I envy your family for getting to eat at your house every night!
