** I’m sure your cake will turn out just fine if you follow it exact, however, I did make some substitutions. I hardly ever follow a recipe exact. I don’t know why… I guess it’s mostly because I don’t have all of the ingredients it calls for.

Left out the walnuts, didn’t have any
Used a 20 oz can of crushed pineapple instead of the 8 oz of sliced
Put ¾ cup of honey in the cake batter (I’m stingy with my honey!)
I didn’t have buttermilk… used regular milk instead
For the rolled oats – I used quick oats
1 cup of mashed bananas rather than ½ cup
