I got this recipe on-line. Many suggestions to cut the oil or sugar. I reduced the oil slightly, added applesauce to the recipe, did not use raisins, made sure nuts where finely chopped. Have had nothing but good comments. And the taste is great as well as the texture. The right texture for carving, as long as no raisins are added and the nuts a chopped finely.
