"Paired with French Burnt Sugar Frosting, this is incredible. My nephew Shawn says it's was the best cake he ever had. It also makes a quick weeknight dessert just topped with powdered sugar or served with whipped cream. You can make the cake a few weeks early, brush with Simple Syrup and freeze. Then thaw that morning and frost. Adapted from MizzNezz at fooddotcom"

Yummy cake that was easy to prepare and turned out very moist and had a lovely spice taste. The cinnamon frosting I made was a great topping for this cake!

Here is a delicious cake that was really good. I soaked some raisins and added them in with the nuts. They added a great taste and tasted extra good to me!
