My family loves this recipe. Very moist and just the right amout of spice. You won't be disappointed!!!

10/23/2011 12:56:37 PM Report AbuseI made it as called for in the recipe, very moist and delicious, used walnuts instead of pecans. Next time I will use applesauce to cut the calories.
10/9/2011 04:58:08 PM Report AbuseI cut back on the sugar to 1 1/3 cups, too. I replaced half of the oil with applesauce, and I used 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour. I added 1/8 teaspoon each nutmeg and cloves (who doesn't have these spices around this time of year???). They turned out really well and were a big hit.
11/5/2010 03:02:31 PM Report AbuseI made a few minor changes to make them a bit healthier: cut 1/3 cup sugar (did not need more), replaced all oil with applesauce (still extremely moist) and cut frosting recipe in half (still plenty). Next time I'm going to use half whole wheat flour and use egg substitute because this recipe can handle it. These are very good. Oh, 3/4 cup nuts is too much for me (and I love them) so I'll cut that down next time too.
