Brown Sugar-Spice Cake

Back to baking after a few weeks away from it. I thought this cake would be good for Larry to take with him to Reno this week - and he really loves it. He thinks this is the best thing yet out of Whole Grain Baking. I delivered a couple of slices to my neighbor and more slices to her boyfriend, who loved it also.

This is a simple cake - it smells warm and comforting. It's 100% whole grain and also contains apple juice for moistness. It's got crystallized ginger and chopped toasted pecans and powdered ginger, along with other spices. This is a definite make-again.
