PLEASE READ. I read the reviews carefully before deciding to make this cake. Needless to say i was weirded out by all of the cornbread comments. But knowing that there was not any cornmeal in the ingredients, ignored those comments and carried on. SO, as one reviewer has already stated: THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF CAKE. I was not looking for a light and fluffy cake. I was looking for a moist dense cake and this was it. NO CORNBREAD HERE. I followed the directions precisely and was very pleased. The only reason i did not give it 5 stars is because it is not the best yellow cake ive ever had. I have baked a few cakes in my day and this recipe suited its purpose. I poured the batter into 2-8" pans and i discarded the rest. i paired it with a chocolate butter cream frosting. SUCCESS
