This recipe is FANTASTIC! I made this for a bbq we were having on the weekend and I sliced the beef instead of shredding and served it in crispy hotdog rolls. Just delicious and everyone commented on how tender and nice it was. You didn't need anything else in the roll but the meat. I used topside roast beef and a whole bottle of bbq sauce and just kept basting it thru the day. A great recipe to do for when people are coming over to watch a game and you don't want to be stuck in the kitchen the whole time. Thanks for the recipe :)

This cake is fantastic! My kids and I made it and they loved it. I did do a few things differently that was recommended by a viewer (Mandy W) in another yellow cake recipe. She recommended using cake flour and when you measure it, sift the flour into the measuring cup and then level it off (this makes the cake more dense). She then also suggested creaming the butter, sugar & flour together then pour in the milk/egg mixture. Also the cold ingredients should be at room temp when using. I din't have cake flour so I looked up how to substitute it, and it says to every 1 cup of cake flour, use 1 cup of unbleached plain (all purpose) flour and then take 2 tablespoons out. I also ended up baking the cake in 2 round tins and freezing one. I also had a little trouble with timing too, I think because I only used 2 cake tins, so it took longer than the 15-20mins stated. I also left it plain as it didn't need icing. It came out moist and dense, just as I was hoping. I may try it using self raising flour next time to compare the difference. Will definitely bake again and am even thinking of using this for my sons birthday cake. Thank you for a great recipe :)

This is a fantastic recipe & so easy! I reduced the quantities as I only wanted to make 24 and I used vanilla bean paste instead of extract and put about 2 tablespoons of maple syrup just cause I love maple syrup. I also put sliced fresh sweet strawberries that I marinated in a little balsamic vinegar for about an hour just to make them even more sweeter and they were absolutely delicious! They were so little that they were just one mouthful of pure delight. It was like having a chocolate or something. I also tried a few using strawberry waffers and they went really well with the fresh strawberries. Somehow I managed to have a couple left over and they were even better the next day. I have made these twice now and it most definitely will not be the last...thank you for this recipe :)
