This is a really yummy moist cake, but because there is no sugar in it, it won't keep long. I actually like eating this with butter on it..so much for the diet, but it is very tasty. You can substitute fresh, sugar free juice for the water, pineapple is particularly tasty. I also add in more Glace Cherries because I love 'em.
