I thought this was the best cake I've ever tasted. I'd have given it 5 stars, but my husband didn't agree with that, so I'm giving you a 4 star. This was just the right size and I really wanted a recipe with no milk. It was simple to mix together. The cake was moist, had a nice crumb and was just lovely. Thank you I really enjoyed this....I've eaten half the cake already!

Very good and easy recipe. i did modify it. instead of self rising flour i used regular flour and a teasp of baking powder. i also used a 9" cake pan and baked for 20 mins. i was in a huge hurry thru all the ingredience in a bowl and beat it till smooth. the cake turned out perfect. thank you!!!

This recipe turned out rich, moist, and delicious. I frosted the cake with cream cheese frosting. It was just the right size cake for my husband and I. Since it is just the two of us, I am always looking for recipes that are smaller tha average. This cake fits the bill. Great cake! Thanks
