Not so bad, Guest VeagnBaker

I thought the cake was delicious, I added more cinnamon and spices to mine ( because that's how my family rolls ). To cut down on the oil however is an easy fix without really impacting the end result. I swapped out a cup of oil for half a cup of oil and half a cup of unsweetened apple sauce which worked great. I had to cook mine for a bit longer ( probably 30-35 minutes ) so just be aware. Overall good basic recipe
