My favorite recipe so far at allrecipes! Some changes I've made: puree raisins w/1/4c.spiced applesause, added 1/4 C. wheat germ and 1/4 C. pecan meal after subtracting 1/4 C. flour to balance it out.Also-for those reviewers who said it fell apart, refrigerate cake for 36 hrs. to allow the spices to mellow and the texture to hold together better and it is magnificent! Also you can add 1/3 C. crushed pineapple to round out the spicey edge.Experiment with the recipe, it is forgiving and fun!

I can't believe more members haven't tried this recipe. It passes any possible expectations from even the pickiest baker alive.I couldn't believe it came out of my oven.Supremely delicate and not too sweet x-sta-cy. Recipe.
