Hi - Please feel free to reduce or eliminate any of the spices. It's probably the cloves that you're tasting.
You could add a little grated orange zest with just the cinnamon. Or some almond extract, or even a bit of Kahlua.
The chocolate applesauce cake and the peppermint fudge cakes are darn near the exact same recipe. It's really just the spices/extracts that change. So that shows you how flexible the recipe is, and how you can modify it however you like.
Because all of the IBS recipes are low fat, I try to bump up the flavor in other ways (fat carries flavor). So I usually use generous amounts of herbs, spices, and extracts. You're always free to adjust this to your own taste. ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif)
In baking, do make sure that for spices you're using level teaspoons/tablespoons. If you just scoop up the spices into rounded teaspoons, you'll have too much.
