I really tried!! I am not an experienced cook, but I'm not a beginner. I tried so hard to follow everyone's directions, I creamed, I sifted... but this still did not work for me. It was dense like a brick. Sorry I don't know what I did wrong... but I guess my suggestion is...Don't try this for the first time for someone else (like me who tried it for my new husband's birthday. My first cake for him! It was a good laugh for us, and he'll never admit it was bad! But I know it was!!)
