  • “Lovely cake!I cut the flour down to 3 c.I used butter in place of the shortening.After sitting overnight, the cake is much more moist than when it just came from the oven.It reminds us of gingerbread; very subtle spice and quite delicious.I put a simple brown sugar glaze over it and baked it in a Bundt pan for almost an hour.Thanks for a wonderful spice cake recipe.”
