I've been using this recipe for nearly a year; I can't believe it's taken me this long to rate it...I use it as a base for almost every cake I make; I've made variations with chocolate, peppermint, cardamom, rum, fresh raspberries...pretty much everything comes out perfect. To some of the reviewers who have had trouble with the cake being dense, try beating it slightly longer than specified...also I usually make the white cake and beat the whites separately as suggested, that makes it fluffier. I also usually cook it in a loaf pan, but if you're using a flatter pan (13x9) I find it's better to lower the temperature somewhat to prevent the edges burning. A great basic recipe, though, and it's even low-fat!

really good meal...I added more veggies but other than that followed the recipe exactly, and it was perfect; great combination of flavours. Oh also I used a combination of fresh and canned tomatoes because that's what I had on hand.

this was really good...I marinated the beef beforehand; I think that made it even better. Overall really great flavour though
