I made these into cupcakes... found that they were very moist and tasted awesome. Even when the recipe was doubled and made in one batch Lots of complements on them. Paired it with a cream cheese icing.

With the positive reviews, couldn't resist trying. I was lacking cloves, so I used nutmeg,it turned out great. I also frosted it with vanilla buttercream frosting, it would also be good with a dusting of confectioners sugar.

This cake gave the house a great aroma and the taste was good, however it turned out too crumbly. I topped it with cream cheese icing and that helped with the moistness.

This is WONDERFUL! I used pumpkin ale and baked it in a bunt pan at 325 for about 40 minutes turning it every 10 minutes. I also put a powdered suger glaze made with orange juice over it. This was a hit at work! I will keep this recipes close by.

I just made this cake and my apartment is full of the lovely aroma of spice!! i make all cakes in my food processor, with this recipe I dumped all ingredients (except for nuts) in at once and whizzed it together. I folded in nuts by hand. Turned out A++ moist and light. Thanks for a great recipe.

Very good! I used a good brown ale and instead of the cinnamon, allspice and cloves, I used 2 teaspoons of Apple Pie Spice (its a mixture of cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg). Turned out great!

this recipe lived up to all its rave reviews! It was so easy to make and I couldn't believe how fluffy and moist it was. I cooked it in nine inch rounds instead of a loaf pan to make a layer cake that was iced with cinnamon butter cream frosting, toasted coconut and chopped walnuts. The brown ale I used added a great flavor as well.

This cake was fabulous! I used Sam Adams' seasonal Pumpkin Ale (which added a great flavor) and topped with canned cream cheese frosting. My husband and co-workers loved it. I'll definitely make this again!

My husband really loved this. I added raisins because, to me, everything tastes better with raisins. It was very moist. Make sure to use a beer that tastes good. I learned that the hard way from a recipe for beer bread.

This was very good, in spite of the way I prepared it! I used my bread machine's "quick bread" cycle, just because I was too lazy to haul out the mixer, (the bread machine was out on the counter) and the batter did not mix properly. I wound up beating it by hand. In spite of this, the cake turned out really well. The children loved it served with vanilla ice cream. I used brown ale, which went really well with the spice blend. This one is now in my recipe box.

Delicious! I did not have brown sugar so I substituted white sugar. I put 2 eggs instead of 1. I did not have ground cloves or allspice so I substituted 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. I did not have walnuts so I put 1/2 cup chopped pecans. I brought this to work and it did not last long. Everyone wanted the recipe!

Great recipe. Lite, full of flavor, and best of all easy to make, using simple ingredients. I made cupcakes and baked them for 20 min.

AWESOME!! This was super easy to make and really moist and delicious. I am a college student & all I had in the fridge was Bud Light, but it didn't matter, it still tasted super good! My boyfriend and his office mates loved it! (I doubled the recipe and added an egg to make the mix smoother)

This was very good, kind of like banana bread without the bananas. My stove is broken, so I baked this in my barbecue and it came out great! I used Wassail (Full Sail brewery) which added some extra spice.
