  • “I was pleasantly surprised by this cake. It is _incredibly_ moist and yet has an almost crunchy crust to it. Elegant, indeed, Woodland Hues! Simple-tasting, but still “more-ish”. My changes: 2 t. malted milk powder (Horlicks) instead of cocoa, and 3 t. baking powder added to self-raising flour (instead of baking soda). I baked mine in three bread tins — the two tins with two inches of batter for an extra ten minutes. These latter two browned very nicely in the extra time.”

  • “This is really good, my hubby had his doubts that something made with milk that has gone bad could be good but hee was very impressed.He suggested I leave the milk out on the counter so I would have to make more.I left the recipe as-is except I hate raisins so I tried it with dried cranberrys and another time I used various dried fruit and both times it was wonderful.”

  • “This is a modest yet elegant little cake, moist, almost spicy, not quite chocolaty.I used Splenda in place of sugar, worked fine.I baked at 350F for 25 minutes, using an 8” round pan. “
