I am a professional cook and would like to offer these additions to your recipe to make it simply incredible. I promise it will bring raves.


These measurements are for your recipe after it has been reduced by half.





To your cake recipe add:


1/2 tsp nutmeg


1/4 tsp cloves


1/4 cup raisins


1/4 cup coconut


half of an 8 oz can of crushed pineapple with juice


1/4 cup packed brown sugar





For the frosting:


Replace the vanilla extract with 1 Tbs fresh lemon juice.






What size pan does it call for?





18 ';servings'; usually means about 9 regular people servings. Servings are based on calories too, so they don't consider size. Make the whole cake. If it is too large, cut it in half and leave one half at home for the family or bring for teachers?
Thats a regular sized cake. I would make it as is. Leftovers could be frozen or given away. You want to have enough or more than enough. Can you imagine if you made half and ended up not enough??
i would just make it like it is and serve bigger pieces better to have too much then not enough / share!
