- While the cake is baking, combine all the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and cook slowly over medium heat until thickened slightly.

This is a delicious, easy-to-make cake that will be part of our permanent repertoire. I didn't have nuts, so subbed old-fashioned oatmeal.Reply

This is so yummy! My 2 little ones loved this cake even though it "had no frosting" I used applesauce instead of oil and added french vanilla to the cake and topping and instead of using all of the sugar I used 1/2 cup sugar & 1/2 cup agave in the cake and sorta the same for topping but the topping was a bit thin?? I dont know what the consistancy should be so next time ill make topping according to directions and see what it should be.. but I loved it just the same... thanks, oh and I did not have any self rising flower so I made my own as recommended by another reviewer...1Reply
