I am craving to eat something sweets, but I didn't have eggs , well I found this wonderful recipe from here
I tweaked the recipe according any item I have in my pantry. I added sour cream, rum, molasses,double acting baking powder, and figs. I didn't have orange juice, and dried fruit, I have some figs and pecans only , but the cake still taste so good and soft.
