    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.

    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
