  1. I have made this cake for years, and love it! It turns out perfect every time, and never have to worry about leftovers for very long. It vanishes anytime I take it to a pot luck. Mine never comes out light like the picture, it is always much darker.
     
  2. Good cake, for some reason my came out really really dark on the inside and I wasn't very pleased with this, not sure why it came out the way it did, I followed this recipe exactly. I've seen others make it and its a golden yellow color. Great taste though, and I love the cream cheese frosting.
     
  3. Excellent! Easy to make and was a big hit!
     
  4. This was my husbands favorite cake and I had lost the recipe. Thank you for posting it. Bonni
     
  5. My icing didn't ooze into the cake like I had hoped. But the cake was still yummy! My one year old loved it!
