This recipe is exactly what it professes to be, a simple and tasty cake. I'd never made a cake of this sort before (only had experience with genoise types), but my cupcakes still turned out perfect. I added a little extra milk like others suggested, about 1/8 more than the recipe called for, but otherwise I followed the directions exactly, and it isn't dry at all. By itself it isn't a total showstopper, but it's delicious in a simple way, and it'd amke a good base. The taste of the cake doesn't demand the spotlight, so I'm sure rich icing or fruit would go great with it.

Very tasty recipe overall, quite sweet. I didn't measure my vegetable portions exactly and I added some cauliflower, but otherwise, I followed the recipe as is. I'd probably give this a 4.5 if I could as it's very yummy but could maybe use some further adjustments and additions to balance it and add a little more kick. If I make it again I'll probably play around more.
