OK, I just made this cake today. It tastes like flour-y pancakes and WAY too sweet. I only put 1 1/2 cups of sugar thinking that would be less sweet. I am a cake baker and decorator and this was VERY DISAPPOINTING!! I wish I could give it NO STARS.

The flavor of this was good, although a bit dry. I topped it with a carmel frosting from a different site and it was amazing with this cake.

This was the best cake ever. When we made this for our teacher, she said it was the cake around since she has been down here. The rest of the fifth grade teachers said it was also good too.

I made this cake for my parents birthdays, which are a week apart, because they both love butter pecan ice cream. It was a beautiful cake and it got lots of oh's and ah's at the party. Everyone said it was delicious. I, on the other hand, thought it was a little dry even though I only baked it for 20 minutes but the flavor was very good. Also I thought the frosting was way to sweet. I wish I listened to my gut and used my regular butter cream frosting which I think would have paired better with the cake. Next time I will and I'll add buttermilk to the cake to combat the dryness.

The flavor was excellent but like others, i found it dry. It needed vanilla ice cream or a big glass of milk. My family liked that it was a change from chocolate cake.

Lovely cake! I reduced the recipe to "ten servings" (to make it just two layers instead of three). Also, I used half walnuts and that was just fine. It was elegant yet simple and impressed my friends!

This cake was splendid! With a few exceptions. I would suggest adding twice the butter because the cake came out a bit dry. I didn't make the traditional frosting but made one of my own (brown sugar, confectioners sugar, heavy cream, butter, and the remainder of the buttered pecans) It turned out magnificently, a rather sweet glaze. But it works much better when made as a bundt cake. Overall, the smell and taste of the buttered pecans was heavenly! Will be making this again!
