This is a really good recipe. I followed it pretty much exactly, but did use 2 eggs instead of 1 egg and 2 egg whites. Also put figs in instead of raisins. It baked up wonderfully and we really enjoyed this cake. I put a dusting of cinnamon in the frosting as well. Thank you!

This is a great recipe. I have made it several times, and I usually double the cinnamon and add a dash of nutmeg. Sometimes (I'm an idiot) I begin assembling and forget that i don't have an orange. In this case, I substitute orange juice for the milk. Not quite as good but still delicious! Definately half the sugar/honey/water at the end, though. This is a dessert I crave frequently. Thanks!

Amazing! Not really as much work as it looks - once the bread is rising it is really a cinch. The dough is not sticky, either and we had very little mess. We browned the beef with 2 cloves of crushed garlic and added bell pepper, lots of chopped mushrooms, and 1 tsp caraway and 1 tbs oregano with the filling. Then added one can of undiluted cream of celery soup to the filling. I expected to have more of the 12 left over, but it was just so good we went back for thirds.
