I like this cake much more than my husband. He said it was a cake he would eat it put in front of him but nothing he would request. To say the least, that shocked me coming from him!!! I would like to offer a piece of advice on the frosting. zbe VERY careful with your heat while cooking the milk mixture, or it may scorch and that would be disasterous for the frosting.

The cake was very tasty and moist. However, I would have preferred a different frosting. Maybe just buttercream frosting. My 11 year-old daughter made this all by herself for Chemistry Class. This was a very easy recipe for her to make.

Good cake. I did not make the icing so I can not rate it.

Delicious! I love this frosting. I added just a little bit of ground cloves to the frosting and it gave it a nice hint of flavor. The cake is moist and tasty, but it's the frosting that really makes this excellent!

Great breakfast cake! The texture is more like a fluffy bread than a moist cake, but that's not a bad thing. The icing is lovely. Thanks Monica! Made for PAC Fall 2008.
