,

It's the total of both. Sorry for any confusion.

I also added 1/4 cup raisins, but those would not be suitable for

beginners.

It's very yummy. It's disappearing quickly...LOL. And says

it's the best cake yet and he wants me to make it for his birthday

cake in 2 weeks.

You can use dripped yogurt with honey to make a yummy cream

cheese frosting.

For those looking for a high calorie snack... I just did the

calculations for this cake.

If you cut it into 12 pieces, each piece would have about 200

calories. Cut into 15 pieces, each would have about 160

calories.

Jody,

I just wanted to let you know that this cake is really good. I have

made lots of variations - different nuts, used pears, pineapple,

zucchini, less eggs, less honey, etc. and it turns out great. If you

do use pears (or something with more water) you either have to

squeeze the water out of them or use a little more walnut/nut flour.

Thanks for taking the time to share it!

I'm glad you like the cake. I have made several variations as

well. I've used zucchini and added raisins which was really

yummy too. My boys love ginger and I've added it before as well.

It makes it taste more like a spice cake with the zucchini, raisins,

cinnamon and ginger.
