  1. WOW, this cake is AMAZING! I took this cake to work and by lunch there was nothing left but crumbs. I received many compliments and one coworker said this was now his favorite cake - beating out a cake that his grandmother always made for him. The cake is very moist, easy to make, and the icing out of this world.
     
  2. excellent!! Made some amendments to the cake so my review mainly reflects the frosting recipe. The buttermilk gives the frosting just enough "twang" to keep it from being too sweet. I made this for a large bbq and got rave reviews. I even had a bit the next day and I think it was even better!
     
  3. This may be my favorite cake of all time. A woman at work brought it to the office, and I was hooked. Now I request as my birthday cake every year. The frosting reminds me of a praline. Yum!
     
  4. Wow this is really delicious and pretty simple to make too. I used a 9x13 pan so had to bake longer. Also used more powdered sugar in the frosting to get it a little thicker. This I will be making again!! Thank you for this yummy treat!
     
  5. The cake is good but the frosting is FABULOUS! This is a great cake to bring to a pot luck. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will make this again.
