The only change I made was using a whole piece of bacon. Bacon goodness in every bite. I baked on a wire rack on top of a cookie sheet so the grease could drain away from the fries.

I made this recipe twice. The first time I made it I did just as the recipe called for and like the other reviews I did find it to be not a very flavorful cake and although plenty moist it almost tasted like it was going to be dry. So I doubled the vanilla and I also beat the shortening in the eggs together first to get some air into them which is what I do on a carrot cake recipe I have and it actually makes the cake be a little less heavy and more airy. I also doubled the topping that someone had written. I used one can of crushed pineapple and one can of the pineapple tidbits and it came out great.
