I loved this recipe. I looked at a whole bunch of them, before I decided that this was the one I wanted to try. I loved the fact that it didn't have a billion ingredients to blend in, and that it was remarkably easy in instructions- since I bake with my kids, this is a HUGE thing for me. I loved the way the cake came out, and when I made cupcakes, they were great too. One of my favourite tricks is to add "Rum" extract, and have a butter - rum cake. My husband LOVES it with my caramel icing- it's delish.

This cake was horrible. I followed the recipe exactly. The cake was incredibly greasy, I've never see a cake with this consistency before. It was so sweet it made my teeth hurt. Needless to say, I had to pitch the whole thing.

I have been looking for a long time (unsuccessfully) for a from-scratch recipe that tastes like the Duncan Hines Classic White box mix and I thought this might be it, based on the reviews. Especially making the change that one reviewer suggested - of beating the egg whites separately and folding them in for a fluffier softer crumb. Yuck. This cake literally tastes like eggs. I tried making it into cupcakes and they spill up and over the cupcake tin, totally flat. They looked awful and tasted worse!

This was an excellent cake. I have to admit I usually make cakes from a box, but my daughter wanted to make a birthday cake for me. We found this and I was so impressed. It was moist and dense. I used a chocolate frosting and they went so nicely together. For once, my cake rose without any high or low spots, it came out of the pan easily and it was wonderful! The best part was that it was really hardly any more work than the boxed variety! Thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love this recipe. It has the best taste out of all the cake recipes I have tried. What I like to do to add a fluff and softer crumb is I seperate the eggs and the sugar. I then whip the egg whites and add 3/4 cup of sugar gradually. When I get stiff peaks I fold the egg whites into the cake batter. Makes the cake very airy and wonderful. I then top it with a cooked chocolate frosting recipe I have--tastes like fudge. Yummy!
