yum! we were dying for a dessert, but had no eggs. this was great. i made this recipe into muffins, and instead of the corn oil, i used margarine. also, just put a little honey on each half, and devoured. thanks!

I made this for our two children for there birthday. Everyone really like it. Tiffany, she really liked it and Trever, he even like it. (He is the picky one!) My sweet hating husband liked it too.

this cake was very good. it needs slightly less temperature in the oven and longer time to cook otherwise it IS soggy in the centre. i lowered my oven temperature just a little, and checked the cake every 10mins with a toothpick in the centre until it came out clean. not sure exactly how much longer it took to cook, but it was a substanially longer time. pity its called WHITE cake. mine was DEFINITELY not white inside! perhaps because i used GOLDEN SYRUP(easily obtained in europe, where i live) instead of CORN SYRUP(which is difficult to find). all in all, quick, easy, and good flavour.

This was a very hearty batch of cupcakes (yes, I made 24 cupcakes instead of the cake itself) They are dense but taste like a wonderful honey wheat. I sprayed Pam into the muffin cup to make the paper easier to peel and it seems to have worked. We served them with the Maple Buttercream Frosting (recipe 279823).

This recipe never worked quite right for me. The cupcakes never rose properly, and they had a damp sticky texture about them.
