Reviews

Loved it! Almost as easy as a mix, but so much tastier and healthier! I substituted 1/2 c of sucanat for sugar, and was impressed that the olive oil was "hidden" enough. I only had one problem; getting it out of my bundt pan, but that was probably because I let it cool too long. Next time I think I'll try it with a 9x13.
