If I had to rate the recipe strictly on taste I would give it a five. I baked it for my daughter's birthday cake and used 2 9in pans and was hoping to be able to frost it, but it was very crumbly and basically fell apart when I tried to take it out of the pans. I wish I could find a good layer cake recipe that would rise and not crumble to pieces when I frosted it. Great on taste, poorly on staying together. Wondering if it's my Baker's Secret pans I used. Hmm......
