"A tall, impressive cake that showcases the flavors and smells of the holidays. A three-layer extravaganza with a touch of molasses and shredded apple to keep it moist. It fills the house with a fragrance that beats the most expensive holiday-scented candle. It will be talked about long after the party is over." Source: The Pastry Queen Christmas, by Rebecca Rather

So delicious, moist and flavourful. It was a HUGE hit at our family dinner last night! I actually doubled the batch and it was still perfect...

Instead of a rich butter cookies, make some macaroon made of egg whites, coconut, pecans and chocolate. They are so chocolaty and delicious, a little bit crunchy at the inside and slightly chewy on the outside. Perfect sweet treats at holidays.

This moist, buttery and flavorful applesauce pound cake is always a winner at our place, we make it very often, sometimes after main course, sometimes we just have it as our coffee cake with some coffee or tea. It is a wonderful and delightful cake :)

Comparing with original recipe, this healthier version is made with whole wheat flour, half butter and half olive oil. Also decrease icing sugar from 3/4 cup to 1/2 cup, and it's still sweet enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.
