This is a great cake to make in the fall. It is light, springy, and crisp with a hint of spice, just like a cool autumnal evening. There is a lot of mixing after each added ingredient, so it is perfect to make together with your child. My 11 year old son Kaci operates the hand mixer while I measure and add the ingredients. A perfect Saturday afternoon cake!
