About 5 or 6 years ago I was searching for something appropiate to bring to a Thanksgiving dinner and found this recipe. I am forever asked to bring this cake with me when I am invited somewhere. I have been for this recipe more often than any other cake recipe. – Anonymous Review
Everyone loved this cake, but I wasn't sure which was the top, or which was the bottom. Should you turn it upside down so that the nuts are on top ? Should it be nade in a tube pan instead ? – Anonymous Review
