“This is a rich, moist cake. I make two in the oven at one time so the oven is not half empty.” - by NEWGRANNY

"Excellent! I made this for a Polish dinner festival and it everyone loved it...had many requests for the recipe. I added some rum-soaked raisins, and used diced candied cherries as I couldn't get ma..." See moreraschino cherries when I needed them. I also couldn't find the flavoring, so I used a mix of vanilla, almond and a bit of maple flavoring. Wonderful blend if you have the same problem. My family is Polish and we will definitely be adding this to the dessert list...awsome!"

"I started checking the cake after 1 1/2 hours. It was done in about 1 hour 50 minutes, not 2 1/2 hours! I did get rave reviews from my family. I would make it again...." See more"

"This is a spectacular and great tasting cake - needs no frosting as outside forms a slightly crunchy sweet layer! Would be a colorful, great holiday cake!..." See more"
