I like this recipe...I use this one whenever I bake my kids birthday cakes. It is quick and easy and the kids like it. I found it a bit too sweet though and I did cut back on a half a cup of sugar.

This cake turned out great! It didn't taste salty or anything like cornbread, as some of the other reviews stated. It was moist, and had a dense texture and sweet flavour. I put butterscotch pudding between the layers and iced it w/buttercream frosting. Great stuff!

Ddin't work out for me. Texture was like cornbread, taste was blah. Glad I tried a practice run before I served it to people.

This cake was a heavier cake like pound cake, but I found it to be the best vanilla cake recipe I have ever made. You must use cake flour, and you must sift it. For those who would like it lighter I would suggest maybe using 3 whole eggs instead of 7 egg yolks. My only addition to this recipe was a 1/4 tsp of lemon extract. I used a light whipped cream frosting. It would probably make an excellent Jello cake or used for strawberry shortcake.

GREAT! After reading all the bad reviews, I was really wary of the recipe but ended up trying it anyway. This is a wonderful cake and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

This is the single worst recipe I've ever gotten from this website - the recipes are usually great. The cake tasted like badly cooked pancakes.

I made this for my mom for her birthday and now I feel bad because I worked hard on it. I wanted to make my mom a good cake and this was the opposite.
