Great cake!! Have made it several times and it comes out perfect every time, moist and flavorful. Only thing I did different was cut the bake time by 5 minutes.

Very moist and spicy, just the way we like it! I used 3 whole eggs instead of the 2 plus one eggwhite because that's the way we roll around here and it turned out fine. Our son went back for 3rds! Definately adding this to my recipe box to make again and again.
