Was wonderful! I made this recipe to fill a 3D Ducky cake pan from Wilton. It is dense, delicious, and held together well. <br/>I made 2 changes - I used 5 eggs for moisture & added 1/2 tsp of salt.

This is such an easy cake to make, my youngest children love to help with it. It is very tasty, moist and perfect with my morning cup of coffee :)

This has an excellent vanilla taste but I think it's a little dry. however, it is so easy and has such good flavor I will try this recipe again and work on adding some more moisture to suit my tastes. I followed the recipe exactly except I added 1/2 tsp salt to the dry ingredients.

This is a nice, moist cake. I baked mine in a large bundt pan, took 60 minutes, and it was just perfect :) I frosted this cake with 'Luscious Lemon Frosting #54666. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
