I found this a bit dry. Had no ice cream so I topped it with <a href="/179608">Raspberry Cream Cheese Fluffy Frosting</a>. I did find it to be full of flavor. I have a feeling this is one of those cakes that you let sit overnight and the flavors will enhance. I used a 9 inch cake pan to bake it in. Thanks!
