I have made this cake for years, and love it! It turns out perfect every time, and never have to worry about leftovers for very long. It vanishes anytime I take it to a pot luck. Mine never comes out light like the picture, it is always much darker. -
Good cake, for some reason my came out really really dark on the inside and I wasn't very pleased with this, not sure why it came out the way it did, I followed this recipe exactly. I've seen others make it and its a golden yellow color. Great taste though, and I love the cream cheese frosting. -
Excellent! Easy to make and was a big hit! -
This was my husbands favorite cake and I had lost the recipe. Thank you for posting it. Bonni -
My icing didn't ooze into the cake like I had hoped. But the cake was still yummy! My one year old loved it!
