Made it healthier. 30 teaspoons of sweetener instead of sugar - 10 Feb 2011
Thanks for this very tasty recipe. I should have done as the recipe says and sieved the dry ingredients. I didn't and ended up with small lumps of flour, so others in a hurry, take note. Will definitely make again, properly! - 06 Nov 2013
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't tried it. Rich, moist, and so light! I added an extra 1/2 cup raisins and used 3/4 c. white sugar and 3/4 c. brown sugar. Finished by sprinkling confectioner's sugar over the cooled cake. A tip to cool the coffee mixture: partially fill sink with cold water; set pan in and stir until mixture cools (which it does quickly!) I also baked the cake in a pyrex 9 x 13 pan; it was done to a "T" after 40 minutes. - 21 Jan 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
