I first made this cake for my grandmother's birthday. Se requested either a spice cake or a pound cake. This was the perfect combination. Only bad part was that I didn't get to try it. I made it again last night for my family and it was a HUGE hit. Even my non-cake eating husband is a fan and says this is his kind of cake. Both times I baked mine in a bundt pan (had to reduce cooking time to between 40-45 minutes) and then topped it with a vanilla flavored powedered sugar glaze. I will be making this cake often. Thanks Ellie!1Reply
