I made this as a layer cake and put whipped cream in the center. I also put cream on top and served it with strawberries. The whole family enjoyed it and it was easy to make.

Really easy my 12yr old made this with ease. Good result will try a different oil or melted butter next time. Thanks.

This was incredibly moist and dense which is really suprising being that there is no butter or margarine in this cake. However the flavor tasted a bit odd, I don't know if my vanilla is responsible for that or not so I'll have to play around with the flavorings a bit and try it again.

This cake was delicious! Moist and just sweet enough. I served it with fruit and whipped topping. THe only fault I found was with the directions. Nothing was said about how to prepare the cake pans or how to tell if the cake was done. Most experienced cooks know this but not everyone does. Thanks for an easy recipe though
