Greek Spice Cake #SundaySupper

 I am so excited for the opening of the Our Big Fat Greek Wedding 2.  The first one was so delightful.  A group of women friends plan to see it when it opens!  This spice cake is a Greek classic, served at one of the restaurants we like here in St. Louis.  For our Easter holiday, I added a cup of finely chopped carrot to the batter.  This cake is delicious without any frosting, but my family will expect a classic cream cheese frosting on it.  Would yours?

Today's Sunday Supper if featuring all kinds of Greek goodies.  Be sure and check out all the wonderful recipes at the bottom of the post.
