Good flavor but has mistake, Member hyphenatedcanadian

I must have been the only person to follow this recipe precisely as it was a fail. There is way too much liquid and I would have spotted this if I had compared it to other recipes before I made the first batch. The 1/2 cup of oil was likely a mistake and should be drastically reduced or removed altogether. The cake was so oily that it oozed oil when it was tested for springiness. The flavor was a bit sweet for my taste but otherwise quite good -- the onions and peppers added a very nice touch. However the texture was too oily and was reminiscent of cheap store bought cake rather than a delicious home made quality product.
