Hi Adam, thanks! It is good, but maybe with a little bit of guilt???

Hi Edwin & Dr. Martin, thanks for voting for my cake. I hope you like it, and it is quite a breakfast cake-great with coffee...

I stumbled upon your blog the other day and had to try this cake. I love cake for breakfast! My husband puts milk on his breakfast cake and I just eat it like cake. Very, very good recipe!

Peace,
Libby

Hello Stellina...I finally got around to taking a look at your very easy cake which I'll have to try soon. Maybe I'll turn it into a gluten-free variety...with the sweet sorghum flour ;o) I'm sure it will turn out scrumptious.
Flavourful wishes, Claudia

About

I have sat here for quite a while trying to figure out what approach to take in order to describe the deliciousness of this cake. At this point, I'm sure that I don't have the words, so I am just going to say that this is one of those recipes you keep in your arsenal for life. This is for two major reasons:

1. Deliciousness!
2. Ease

There are other reasons too like this being one of the greatest cakes I've had with my ginger tea or the fact that there is not a lot a cleanup, since it is a one bowl and no mixer required cake. This cake is also so moist and fragrant that it would work great for a layered cake with something like buttercream icing. However, I feel the top two suffice for firing up the oven and trying it. Be sure to brew a nice pot of tea or coffee and have some whipped cream handy.
