I made this last night, but I won't get a taste until later tonight or tomorrow. I was really worried about the recipe because before the fruit was added it looked a lot like cookie dough, and then after the fruit it was a gooey mess that would have been sticky if it weren't for all the oil. They did bake up beautifully though and I cannot wait to taste them.

I made this cake for my mother's birthday. What a hit!! GREAT recipe!! As far as step 2-pour into pans, well it doesn't exactly "pour". It was a GREAT cake though!!
