  1. Wow wow wow wow wow! This has to be in the top 5 cakes that I have ever tasted and made. I have made this cake for so many occasions, including birthdays and even weddings! Yes, I made 20 of these cakes at a time for a wedding. And the most amazing part is that this cake remains moist! It is so good! The only difference is I frost it and fill it with raspberry cream cheese frosting. Thanks for this awesome recipe!
     
  2. t'was a flop.
     
  3. I was very excited to make this cake for my husband's birthday, but I was very disappointed in the result. The cake itself, while moist does not have a lot of flavor. I did substitute the preserves for recipe #10045, which is a great filling! The frosting was terrible. Instead of being very creamy, it was stiff and made it difficult to spread. It is also extremely sweet, I think 5 cups of powdered sugar would have been plenty. Needless to say I won't be trying this recipe again.
     
  4. Excellent Cake! Tasted and smelled great! I used #10045 Strawberry Filling and my own buttercream icing, instead of the frosting provided though. The cake was one of the best I've ever had!

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7. I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
