ReplyDeleteI really liked this cake a lot. Very moist, and the frosting was GREAT.
ReplyDeleteI would double the amount of frosting and add some cherry extract and a bit more cinnamon to boost the flavor just a bit. The chocolate chips were a great addition. What type of chips did you use? Were they semi-sweet?
