This was a very spontaneous cake. The boys and I went over to our friend Israa's house. We didn't have any recipes around or internet access. The recipe on the bag of flour was for spiced apple cake. I altered it by lessening the flour and adding cocoa powder, adding dried sour cherries in place of the raisins, using butter instead of applesauce, and lessening the spices. We added a variety of nuts and seeds, dried cranberries and chocolate chips to the batter. We baked the cake in two smaller pans instead of the square pan the recipe called for and reduced the baking time. This cake turned out moist and full of nutty goodness.
