GREAT!September 04, 2009By magnified
"I baked this cake and it did not last one day. My husband devoured it . It was wonderfully moist. I added walnuts to the icing and tweaked it a bit here and there, but overall, its a keeper. I had figs in my freezer from last years batch that had already been cooked and sweetened some. Since it was already juicy, i cut back a bit on the liquids. , I did get a piece. One. But, the batter and the icing,, oh yeah,, I HAD to taste test of course!!! I highly recommend this one!!"
