This is a very moist cake, so if your cake comes out dry you overcooked it. All ovens vary so you always want to test the cake to see if it is done and not overcooked. I keep this cake in the fridge or a cool place.

“This cake was YUMMY and very easy to make !!! Between my family and my knitting group we ate every bite. I am notorious for changing recipes. On this one the only change I made is I only had fresh Nutmeg. So, I am not sure if I used the right amount. I will make this one again. I just volunteered to make it Christmas Eve for my friends church.” – Addie
