Food 4 Thought
Physical and mental health are seen as two halves of a whole and cannot be divorced one from the other. Building a spiritual relationship with God involves taking care of body and soul: “Since maintaining a healthy and sound body is among the ways of God - for one cannot understand or have any knowledge of the Creator, if he is ill - therefore, he must avoid that which harms the body and accustom himself to that which is healthful and helps the body become stronger.” Learn more about eating mindfully Jewish.

Although this could be made as a sheet cake, I like the presentation much better (especially for a holiday) if made in a tube or Bundt pan (9 or 10-inch)

Is the fancy pan necessary? Will a bundt pan or a tube pan work?

I always add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon nutmeg as well. Mom left out the cloves.

If this is from Marcy Goldman you should give her credit, And it works better with one teaspoon of baking powder. otherwise it sinks.
