Chocolaty, Slight Hint of Spice, Very Moist, Very Addictive, No Icing Required. I love this cake, it's slightly different with the addition of cinnamon and cloves. I made this cake and took to work one day when we had a visiting programmer. He could not stay out of this cake. Recipe Source:Hoosier Cookbook, copyright 1976
