Needed a little something flavor wise...but definitely moist and sort of "fudgy" in texture. It was okay tasting, but like I said missing a little something. Would maybe be good with chocolate chips for added flavor.

Delicious and so easy! After reading some other reviews I took a chance and made some changes that I think improved the cake immensely. I added 2 teaspoons of vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a tablespoon of mayonnaise (I know, it sounds strange but it really is a great addition!) Takes away the nonfat aspect of the recipe but adds a richness for just a few extra calories.

I tried this recipe and the cake was kind of bland so I made a peanut butter glaze to go over it. But without it, its not sweet enough and has a weird taste.

My family loves this cake, it´s olso known as "Italian cake" for the olive oil. A good thing to put on it is a cream cheese icing. Just beat 2 (8oz) cream cheese, 1/2 c confectiones sugar and 1tbs of almond extract, it´ll come out delicious. Also the cake tastes better if you cut off 1c of the sugar.

I'm afraid I definitely noticed the absence of eggs, milk and/or butter. Dry, with a "cardboard" taste to it.

I made it exactly as it was written. The cake has nice texture , great to make a layer cake. Comes easy out of the cake pans. It lacks something in taste, tastes a little watery to me. Maybe something can be added to improve the taste.
