Love this recipe. I've been making it for my kids for a few years and finally tried doubling it. Works great! Double everything and use a 9x13 pan. Glass pan approx. 30 min. at 325 degrees. It's nice a sweet without all the gooey icing of a regular cake. Yummy.

Loved it!! Very moist and light. Used the 8" pan and made it thick. Used honey roasted pecans instead of walnuts.
