A good recipe, my family really likes it, it just needs a little spicing up. I use a beef bullion cube melted in 2/3 cup water, chop the onion VERY fine, and add finely chopped red bell pepper. You don't need as much salt using the bullion cube. You can also substitute canned beef broth for the water and/or bullion cube. I also add in soft bread crumbs, about 2/3 cup--helps hold it together. And I use pre-cooked rice, just seems to work better. Last thing I do is use some thyme, and a touch of cider vinegar to spice up the tomato sauce.

Excellent cake--flavor and texture perfect, nicely moist. I've made a lot of pound cakes, but this is about the best of all. Since I found this recipe, I've made almost a dozen cakes for family, friends and for my husband to take to work to share with the guys. I've also found you can use other fruits with this cake. I've used peaches, pineapple and pears so far. You can also put different flavored glazes on it, or a fruit sauce, this helps it stay moist longer. This cake has become one of my family's most favorite desserts.
