  1. This is a lovely cake! I made two (single layer) cakes, both with buttercream frosting. One had a dusting of cocoa powder, the other was decorated for Sunday School class, to celebrate the end of the school year and Pentecost. For the cake, I only had 3 eggs, so I added 1 whole egg and then beat 2 egg whites. I also reduced the sugar to 1 and 3/4 c. It baked up nicely and removed easily from the pans, which I lined with parchment. Honestly this cake is even more delicious the next day. It reminds me of wedding cake. It is moist and delicious. I'd never made a white cake before, but I would definitely use this recipe again! Thanks!

I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
