I forgot to add the extra 1/2 c milk like so many reviewers suggested. I regret that, as the cake is very dense and a bit crumbly without it. I loved the flavor and it was definitely at hit at the party. I just feel like a little extra moisture would have made it out of this world. I did whip the eggs as the final step and folded them into the batter as opposed to beating them in.

Made this as a graduation cake!! It was awesome, and not a crumb was left. I doubled the recipe, and it still came out great.

Tastes just like a fluffy sugar cookie. The recipe gives the impression to stir the batter a lot, don't. Make sure not to over stir. Also, add a little more milk because it's too thick. Turned out great otherwise.

The cake has a nice delicate flavor. I needed a recipe for leftover egg whites and this is a good one. The recipe is a keeper.

This was soooo good! I've never been a fan of "Plain Old White" cake and finally figured out it was because I have never had a really good one. This was excellent Carol! Thanks so much!

Deeelish!!! Perfect texture. I made this 2x already, once with almond extract and once without. Both were good, but the almond flavor is very prominent. I used this cake to make tres leches cake and it was completely devoured by my family. I am a professional baker and this recipe is A+ in my book

A delicious and delicate cake. I added 1/2tsp of lemon extract instead of the almond. I also added some lemon zest to the batter. It was light, moist and by far the best "white" cake I've ever eaten.

In search of a good white cake recipie, this one sounded excellent and after reading all the reviews i thought it would be a winner. WOW was i ever wrong. It is very heavy which wouldnt of been a problem had the flavor been good. I followed directions to a tee, as well as the extra 1/2cup of milk as suggested. I loaded it up with Wiltons fluffy boiled icing and that did not even help it. I would of been better off with a box mix. I deffinatly would NOT reccomend this recipe to anyone.

I haven't even finished making all the cupcakes from this recipe and I LOVE it! Light, fluffy, moist, AMAZING!!!! So far I've made 24 cupcakes and I still have more batter. I will frost these with lemon cream cheese frosting. I cannot wait for the finished product! Like other reviewers, I added 1/2 c milk and saved making the meringue for last and folded it in rather than beat it in.
