For a lighter , low fat cake, this is good! Not overly sweet , would go great with fresh coffee or tea. Mixed up quickly and easily, the only thing that wasn't "correct" for me was the time to bake. I still had raw dough around one side of it after 25 minutes, so I set the timer for another 15 ... but ended up taking it out at approx. 40 minutes total cooking time. Just used a sprinkle of powdered sugar to top it off. Made in memory of Chef-I-Am.
