    I loved it! The family wasn't sold on it. The cake was very dry. I did bake it only 35 minutes. Next time I would add more yogurt or oil to make it more moist. The spices added to the flavor. The topping is out of this world!

    I agree that this recipe provides healthy options, but I thought the batter lacked flavor. And while I baked it less than the recommended minimum time, it was still dry. I could try again, but it isn't worth it to me.

    Just made this for the first time and my husband and I found it to be delicious. I didn't have greek yogurt on hand, so I used low fat vanilla yogurt and the cake turned out perfect. Due to dietary restrictions I omitted the pecans. With the two changes I made the cake was scrumptous. Can't wait to try it out on the grandchildren.
