     Original recipe was great. I also made it modified for husband's health needs. I sub unsweetened applesauce for oil, used no vinegar, used splenda brown sugar, "NoSalt" in place of regular salt, and whole grain pastry/pie flour in place of unbleached flour. top
    with mixture of cocoa and splenda. - 9/16/14

     I really enjoyed this cake, I did use all sugar, a little less than the recipe, and added a jar of cherries that I canned last summer, and it was divine. Thank you. - 7/18/10

     I make a very similar recipe from Betty Crocker - always turns out great. I mix this recipe up by putting chopped nuts or coconut on top. We also cut this cake into 16 pieces (2"x2") - just enough to satisfy a sweet tooth. - 1/12/09

     i could not figure out why the sodium was so high. And that fact that noone mentioned it especialy. Finally checked the ingredient info and instead of saying 1/4 tsp. it says cups. wow what a difference a decimal makes. lol - 8/12/08

     I would give it 5 stars, but I have not had made it yet, but it sounds delicious and easy. I think I am going to try making it with both splenda sugar and splenda brown sugar substitute. Whatever I can do to save some calories! - 2/1/08

     My mom made these. She got the recipe off a bag of flour in the 70's. I love it!! The bag has a bunch of alternative flavors like, spice and double chocolate chip..YUMMY - 10/16/07
