I used all purpose flour, dark brown sugar, and butter in place of the cake flour, white sugar and shortening. Then I added a generous grinding of nutmeg, a heaped quarter teaspoon of allspice, the same of ground ginger (I didn't measure them, so I'm guessing) and about a quarter teaspoon of orange oil (you could use about a tablespoon of orange zest). It made a very, very nice little cake for a weeknight dessert.
I gave it 4 stars because without the changes, it seems quite bland.
