Reviews
I don't think "vintage" recipes called for sugar substitute. Hahaha.
Regular sugar is fine, we do not eat artificial sweeteners. I also have sweetened appleasauce not unsweetened. very good cake!
I substituted gluten free all purpose flour, and used brown sugar as that was all I had on hand. It was still pretty good. A bit dry, but that was probably due to the fact that my honey had crystallized a bit. Am looking forward to experimenting with this basic recipe again!
this was simple and delicious! everyone in my family ate it, which never happens. i will add this to my monthly menu.
I made this without the chocolate topping. Was delicious! I baked it for 35-40 min.
It sounds very gooood!
Haven't made this yet but well it sounds good.
