100% would make again

This cake is incredibly moist and dense, which makes it ideal for chilling and cutting up ahead of time to serve as bars at social events. Mom is always asked for this recipe. —Krista Smith Kliebenstein, Fort Collins, Colorado

Tastes great and so easy to make. I use almonds instead of walnuts just to keep it light and less chuncky.

It has a very moist, almost wet like texture. Very good taste and everyone wanted seconds. The batter has a strange taste but after baking it I was very pleased. I altered the icing a bit, by adding more powder sugar and coconut cream milk and left the nuts out of the cake mix. It is different then your normal cake and I would make it again.
