A brown-sugar crust makes this nicely spiced snack cake a little different. It's especially good served with a scoop of ice cream. "This is our family's most-asked-for dessert," relates Roberta Ashcroft of Twin Falls, Idaho.

These cakes were a bit too dense for my liking, but the flavor was good. I might try a different recipe next time.

These cakes were a bit dry, even though I followed the recipe exactly. Not sure what went wrong.

A bit too sweet for my taste, but overall a good recipe. I might try reducing the sugar next time.

Easy to follow recipe, and the cakes turned out perfectly! I'm not a huge fan of nutmeg, so I used a little less than the recipe called for, and they were still delicious.
