TO SPICE DO NOT EAT PLEASE DO NOT EAT!
DETEST olive oil so will try with Canola oil…..cloves can be overpowering so will reduce that amount.
Amuda R. I suspect the tinniness came from too much cloves and nutmeg. I reduced these by half and added 1/2 tsp of salt to the recipe, it really came out delicious 🙂
Outstanding! Very moist, great out of the norm holiday desert. Whip up a little “FRESH” whip cream and aaahhhhhhh: I’m not a big fan of cloves so I used a 1/4 teas. of ground cloves instead of 1/2 teas. and I liked it much better. Thanx & Happy Holidays!
