MOIST AND BROWN SUGAR COMPLIMENTS THE FLAVOR

This is a very good cake, moist and a wonderful flavor. I normally don't like nuts that much but they were wonderful in this cake. The only addition I made was to add a little cinnamon to the powder sugar topping. Will make again and again. Hubby loves it and has almost ate the whole cake by himself!

We loved this cake. I am thinking of making a yellow cake mix with butterscotch instant pudding since it already had brown sugar in the cake. Yummy!

I have made this cake several times. Every time it goes very quickly with nothing left over! It is very moist,delicous and simple! We love it.

So many times when I've baked cookies, brownies or cakes, they're a real hit for the first night or two... then they unfortunately lose their appeal and I end up throwing some away. NOT SO with this recipe... the family went back and back 'til not a crumb was left! Hooray! It's just sweet enough for the kids to enjoy, but not so sweet that the grown-ups feel sick just looking at it. Excellent recipe!!!!

This is a real winner, perfect for the fall and company. Very light and moist! I used finely chopped pecan pieces for just a hint of crunch. The outside crusts nicely and really makes this cake great
