I love the taste of this cake, and how easy it was to make. I have made this cake twice. The first time it turned out great, but with family heart problems, it has WAY too much saturated fat - even for a cake. The second time I made it, I made the following modifications: I used 1/2 c Grape Seed Oil in place of 1 cup of butter. I "upped" the water to 1 1/2 cups and I reduced the sugar in the batter to 1 1/2 cups. I also added 1 tsp of baking powder due to the altitude where we live - the first time I made it, it was a bit flat) I also only made 1/2 the icing (but I did use butter for this). No one in my family even noticed the difference!! Try it and see!
