Hi Anna – Sorry for the delay in replying. We were away all last week and I had no computer access.
I love the changes you’ve made especially the addition of cranberries, I never thought of that! And also using a lot less sugar. I’ll do that next time. As for the uneven surface, I almost always make this cake in a large pyrex rather than as a traditional layer cake mainly because it’s so dense and for my taste a bit too much as a layer cake. I find a little goes a long way! It is an uneven surface but you might try cutting a really thin slice off the top of each layer and then I think the frosting will go on more smoothly. If you bake it in a large pyrex, it won’t matter much. I usually scatter finely chopped nuts across the top as well.
Blessings!

Great recipe. Also, for my taste even 1/2 cup of sugar is more than enough, what with carrot, pineapple and coconut. And only 1/2 of regular sugar for frosting. I also added more walnuts-2 cups, 1/2 cup cranberries, and less oil -only 1 cup. And no butter in the frosting.
I just have one problem, the uneven surface. Kind of difficult to assemble layers. Any suggestions.

Robin – Thanks so much for your kind words. Your tweaks sound marvelous, making a yummy dish healthier and more delicious! I especially love the idea of the fresh basil. I often add mushrooms too but will have to try it with some of the other veggies. I’m so glad you found me! Blessings!

I scoured the Internet for “the perfect” chicken cacciatore recipe. I found it here. Thank you so much! I did add mushrooms, zucchini, red pepper, a potato, fresh basil and a bit of chicken broth (the chicken broth to compensate for the added veggies and because I like to have a lot of garlic bread sopping wonderfulness). It was perfect!! I tweaked your recipe a bit but your post was, by far, the most comprehensive, thorough, and sumptuous recipe I have come across. Thank you on behalf of myself, my husband, and my (very picky eater) daughter. It is so appreciated! Take care!!

OHHHH! You inspired me this mother’s day! I made the regular french toast version as you published — but I also made a savory one – Took out all the sweet ingredients from the custard and added salt, peper and garlic powder. I tossed 2 cups of shredded extra sharp cheddar and a pound of crumbled bacon into the bread cubes, combined with the custard, let it soak over night, and then baked off as indicated. Just came out of the oven and it is over the top… perfect for people without a major sweet tooth. I think next time I will add green onions. It is like savory bread pudding muffins. YUMMERS!
