This cake was a little dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I might try adding some more moisture next time, maybe with some applesauce or buttermilk.

This cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a bundt pan and it came out perfectly. The flavor is amazing - not too sweet, with a nice balance of spices. I will definitely be making this again.
