My mother has made a version of this recipe for the past 25 years. Instead of 1/2 t. baking powder she actually uses 1 t. for a "fluffier" cake. For those of you who find some of the extracts overpowering be sure you are measuring correctly or simply use 1/2 t. of the extracts instead of a whole teaspoon.
