  • WARNING: this recipe is missing sugar! I added 1-1/2 cups of sugar. If you don’t add sugar (or something sweet), it will not taste good!

  • I actually submitted this recipe quite a few years back & IT IS STILL not correct!! It was 2 cups of sugar, I imagine you could cut it back if desired..I made it for coffee hour yesterday and used dark choc. cocoa and 2 cups sugar was perfect.

  • Moist and delicious (not greasy) — a must have recipe for the Lenten season. I used a decorative bundt pan and sprinkled with powdered sugar when cake cooled.
