This cake was so simple to make and very delicious! I used Tim Hortons for the coffee and it came out just fantastic. I made this cake for my mom's birthday and filled it with homemade raspberry buttercream frosting and frosted it with Chocolate Butter-Creme Frosting from this site. Garnished it with whole raspberries and I'm happy to say it was the best tasting cake I ever made. Very rich, but hey a birthday is only once a year and you deserve the indulgance. Will make this cake again with different frostings etc.

I love this recipe! I have been searching a long time for a good rolled sugar cookie recipe and this is exactly what I've been looking for. I didn't change anything, except for adding food coloring to the dough. The thinner you roll the dough, the crisper the cookie so if you want softer cookies roll them to a thicker thickness. The shape still holds fairly well (thick).We had a lot of fun decorating the finished product, and had fun eating them too! Thanks for an easy basic recipe!

I was looking for a recipe to use up my ripe pears and found this. It was very easy to make, easy to modify, and very tasty. I used half the sugar the recipe called for, as well as half the spices. Instead of just oil, I melted 1/4 cup of butter in the measuring cup and topped the rest with oil. I did not use pecans, and also used 2 eggs instead of 4 egg whites. I do not have a bundt pan, but I had enough batter for 6 muffins and a loaf. The muffins took about 20 minutes, and the loaf took close to an hour. I then mixed icing sugar, milk, and vanilla to make a glaze and drizzled it over the loaf. Delicious! Don't be afraid to play around with this recipe and make your own little modifications. I can totally see me making this again, except with apples instead of pears.
