Kinda salty, more savory than sweet. 1 teaspoon of salt is too much, 1/2 tsp. is more than enough. Needs more of the spices (maybe double?), b/c u can't really taste them. Could use a glaze or frosting, needs a bit of sugar somewhere! We added a tablespoon of sugar, and it still wasn't enough! HOWEVER, has a wonderful, moist texture.
