Delicious! I made half a recipe. I used golden raisins, which I soaked in hot water for a few minutes. I baked it in an 8-inch square pan for 30 minutes. It smelled great while baking and had a very good flavor and texture; not overly sweet and just the right amount of spice.

This cake was very good! I made it for my husband who des not like raisins, so I left them out and it came out great. I also used two round cake pans instead of a tube pan and frosted the cake with the "White cake frosting I" recipe from this website. VERY PLEASED!

I thought this was delicious. I used a 9x13 pan which was a bit too big, 9x9 as another reviewer used would be better. I cut down the sugar a bit and it was still sweet. The entire cake was gone quite quickly and I want to make another.

loved this. sooo moist and flavorful. I used nuts instead of raisins (it is what i had on hand). Next time I may add more molasses and cloves, but that is just what my tastebuds like. This really is a mild gingerbread, but using applesauce as a sub for the oil.

This was a great cake and easy to make. I didn't have a tube pan so I used 2, 8X8 pans. The recipes was delicious. Thanks for sharing!

I tried this recipe because I was looking for cakes that my 22-month old son can also enjoy. Being allergic to eggs and nuts, it can be hard to find cakles that are safe for him. It's good, but nothing special...I'm not a huge fan of molasses, and the molasses flavor comes through quite strongly.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Make these into muffins :) they are the best, my husband said that these tasted better than the store bought muffins. I made muffins and the cake. The muffins are by far the best, and are a huge hit at work and home.

This cake was amazing. I didn't have cloves, so I substituted both the cinnamon and cloves with pumpkin pie spice. I will definately make it again.

This was an excellent cake! I loved it from the first bite. It was moist and nicely spiced, and I felt the raisins added a nice additional flavor. It tasted just like the applesauce cake I buy at the farmer's market.. maybe even better since this one was free! I'll definitely be making this on Thanksgiving this year.
