This recipe was a big hit at our church dinner tonight. Easy easy easy to put together. Just prepare with the toasted nuts ahead of the recipe.

You can make Powdered Sugar with Splenda, use the amount you would use of Splenda and add 2 tsps of corn starch in a blender. Blend for less than a minute and you will have powdered sugar. I got this idea from calling Splenda a few years ago. It really works. My husband and I are Diabetic.

This was an easy cake to make. I took it to my bridge club and it was gone in 15 min. Should have made 2 cakes.

I made this dessert tonight for a family get together. I did not have the sugar blend on hand, so used 1 cup regular sugar. Everyone enjoyed it, and they were surprised it was a lighter dessert. Very moist and not too sweet cake. The cream cheese frosting is perfect with the cake.

Actually if I were to be asked: "Did these reviews of this recipe help you?" I would have to say a resounding NO. Very confused mish mash of reviews. Guess I will find another recipe.

I made it and husband and neighbor raved about it. Very tasty. I'll make it for Easter.

Based upon other reviews for dryness, etc., I made certain to not overmix the ingredients, using only a wooden spoon to blend ingredients, not a mixer. Also to add moisture, I added a 1/2 cup mashed banana and 1/2 c. low fat yogurt (more nutrition as well). The cake was moist, altho it had a dense texture. Having a diabetic husband and friend, I skipped the frosting and used s.f. whipped topping instead. Will make again.
