I made this cake for my mother on her 88th birthday, she absolutely loved it and so did the rest of our family. The only difference was that I used a spiced apple cider, no other changes, and the icing was just perfect for this cake, in fact I will probably use it on other cakes in the future. We are not big fans of sweet gloppy frosting and the buttermilk icing/glaze is a nice change of pace. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

This cake turned out very good; I doubled the spice quantities as was suggested in other reviews. In addition, for the icing I used brown sugar instead of white - this added a delicious caramel flavor to finish it off.

Husband work absolutely loved! I made these into little mini pound cake servings and everyone gobbled them right up.

I added the extra spices like someone said and the result was delicious -- thank you for this recipe! I didn't make the icing quite right, so it caramelized, but that was my fault, and it tasted good with caramel, too! :D
