This is an excellent recipe. Cake mixes can't produce the texture and flavor of a made-from-scratch cake, and when I find a recipe I love, I hang on to it. It was easily made, a boon for a busy homemaker, and it can be made as festive as desired. I used it as a base for a trifle-like dessert, but the parts that didn't go into the trifle were quickly snapped up. This recipe is a keeper.
