Directions

1 PREACHER CAKE: Combine dry ingredients; add remaining ingredients, and mix by hand.
Bake in a 9 x 13 prepared pan at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
*Some people have mentioned that their cake only took 30 minutes to bake, so please check your cake at that time and make any adjustments in cooking time from there.

2 FROSTING: Mix well and spread on cake in pan. Enjoy!

3 * If you would like to save calories, instead of using the frosting, just sprinkle top of cake with a bit of powdered sugar and enjoy!

4 * There is NO milk, butter, or oil in the cake.

* You may add other fruits or coconut if you like: some suggestions are: dried cranberries, raisins, currants, tub of mixed dried fruit, and even fresh blueberries.
* I suggest that you may cut the sugar to 1 cup as it is very sweet. I often cut the sugar in recipes.
