  1. I gave this recipe 4 stars I made it and the kids loved it. I liked it a lot but was hoping for a lighter airy cake it is a bit dense. It has great flavor in my opinion and is very moist.
     
  2. This is a really good cake. After reading another review, I decided to make this in layer pans. It took three pans, and I baked them at 350 for 35-40 minutes. I frosted the cake with buttercream frosting and it is wonderful. Very moist, sweet, and a little spicy. I used 2 tsp. cinnamon, and would use even more next time, and instead of just 1 tsp baking soda, I upped it to 2 teaspoons. The cake is super-delicious. Thanks!
     
  3. Do not use a 10 inch cake pan to make this cake. After 75 minutes, the tester was clean. When I sliced the cake in half horizontally, to fill it, it was still raw in the middle. The cake is so thick, the toothpick didn't reach that far into the cake. Two 8 inch or 9 inch pans would work much better. The flavor of the baked part was very good, but the birds and deer benefited from this more than I did.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
