I was a little nervous about the vinegar, and it seemed like it would be too much baking soda, but I made the recipe almost exactly as directed, and it was excellent!! The only changes I made were 1 cup cocoa, hot coffee (didn't want to wait!), and dusted the pan with cocoa instead of flour. The chocolate flavor was definitely there, it had a great texture, it was moist, dark, just perfect. I'm very sensitive to the taste of baking soda and couldn't taste it at all! I made it one day and frosted and served it the next.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake II

Reviewed: Apr. 6, 2008

Excellent flavor! A little eggy, and VERY sweet, but it tasted great. I made a pink castle cake with it for my daughter's birthday party and everyone loved it! Next time I will try cutting back the sugar by 1/2 cup.

Blueberry Buckle

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2008

Very good! Even my non-blueberry eating son liked it! I used half whole wheat flour, half all purpose flour in both the cake and topping. About half of the blueberries sank to the bottom , but that still left still plenty in the body of the cake. As my blueberries were tart, I used the amount of sugar the recipe called for, and it was just right.

Dad's Double Whole Grain Pancakes

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2006

I can't have dairy right now, so left out the powdered milk and butter. I was going to sub oil, then applesause, then oil, then forgot to do either! I added artificial butter flavoring and brown sugar flavored splenda instead of the sugar. The pancakes came out a little flat, which is how my husband likes them, and nicely sweetened, which is how my kids like them! Great flavor!
