I like this recipe but like others on here I also found it a bit bland. I added a 8 oz box of cream cheese and instead of vanilla extract I added almond extract to the frosting. I added 1 more teaspoon of cinnamon , 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon of cloves to the batter. Both the cake and the frosting were much more flavorful!!

This was a great recipe that turned out beautifully. The only change I made was to double the amount of frosting which made just enough. There is no way that I couldv'e frosted the whole cake with the original recipe.

Amazing cake! My family loved it. Only criticism was that the frosting was a bit too sweet. May try reducing the sugar in it next time I make it.

Made with my preschool class and didn't use the frosting-it was AMAZING!!! Made a 2nd and 3rd batch to send home individual loaves along with the recipe because it was so good! Moist and so so yummy-thanks!

I made the recipe as is and found it relatively easy to prepare. I baked the cake for 35 minutes then took it out the oven and let it cool for a while. I finished it off with the cream cheese frosting and sprinkles of chopped walnuts. Everyone thought this was great and ate it all up. The cake itself was moist but I thought the flavor was just ok-a little on the bland side. To me I think it could have used a lot more cinnamon; maybe even pumpkin spice for a more rounded flavor. I felt that there wasn’t enough cream cheese frosting; leaving me with a very thin layer to work with. One (3 ounce) package cream cheese, 5 tablespoons butter or margarine and 1 ¾ cups of confectioner’s sugar just wasn’t enough for the entire cake. I would have preferred more cream cheese frosting and a thicker consistency to spread generously over the cake. It was creamy and I could taste the sweetness of the frosting. Everyone else enjoyed this and that is what counts. Thou I have to give this 4 stars based upon the recipe itself.

This was very good. And even better the next day. I used a regular 13 by 9 inch pan instead of making a sheet cake, otherwise, followed the recipe as is. I may try a whipped cream icing with it next time. Thanks for sharing. Lolly
