2 cups of sugar * 2/3 = 4/3 = 1 1/3 cups
3 eggs * 2/3 = 2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla * 2/3 = 2/6 = 1/3 teaspoon
4 cups of flour * 2/3 = 8/3 = 2 2/3 cups
1 teaspoon baking powder * 2/3 = 2/3 teaspoon
1 teaspoon baking soda * 2/3 = 2/3 teaspoon
2 teaspoons salt * 2/3 = 4/3 = 1 1/3 teaspoon
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon * 2/3 = 5/4 * 2/3 = 20/12 = 10/6 = 5/3 = 1 2/3 teaspoon
3/8 teaspoons nutmeg * 2/3 = 6/24 = 1/4 teaspoon
3/8 teaspoons all spice * 2/3 = 1/4 teaspoon
3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts * 2/3 = 6/12 = 1/2 cup
