Harvest Spice Cake image

My go-to recipe when a non-frosted, somewhat rustic but of course delicious cake is needed. I have a wonderful cake mold that looks like a circle of fir trees which I sprinkle with powdered sugar to make them look "snowy." But the cake works in any mold or spring form as long as it's well-greased. Sun Maid may be the source.
