And I have made it in a 9x13 doubling ingredients many times. Screams for whipped cream or ice cream on top, which is how my kids always wanted it.

I think I would not double it but make two 8 inch pans. Sometimes the moister cakes are a little trickier to double. The edges get over baked before the center is done.Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644142108001303079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-6349681519388569462017-09-02T08:32:26.915-05:002017-09-02T08:32:26.915-05:00How do you think this would bake up in a 9x13 pan ...How do you think this would bake up in a 9x13 pan if doubling the ingredients.

The batter was surprisingly thick. The cake was really good! Moist, not heavy, not cloyingly sweet. Glad there was only an 8x8 pan--too much temptation otherwise!<br /><br />I wished I had some of those big sugar crystals to sprinkle on the top before baking--I think it would have been a nice to have a crunchier top instead of the powdered sugar. I also should have used only 1/4 tsp of the allspice--the flavor was just a little strong for me. It gave an aftertaste rather reminiscent of burnt popcorn. Don't laugh--I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was going on with that aftertaste!<br />Anyway, was the cake good? Yes! Would I make it again? No, I have another apple-raisin cake recipe that is our family favorite. This one was good, but not better. :^)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806666755044240033noreply@blogger.com
