Cannot figure out the rave reviews for this one. Cake was moist, but flavor was nothing special. The sugar sauce had an odd flavor. Cake did stick terribly to the pan, too! Next time, I'll make a regular pound cake.

This cake was absolutely fantastic! It was one of the easiest cakes I ever made yet the flavor and texture was outstanding. I followed the recipe to the tee. My personal suggestion is to make the cake the day before. The flavor seemed to develop even more the day after I baked it. I would also make an extra recipe of the butter sauce and use it in and on top of the cake.

This cake is a bit sweet, but tastes really good. I had to have a piece while it was still warm, all I can say is yummmmm.

Nice yellow butter cake. made pretty much according to the recipe, used a chopstick to poke holes in cake just after it came out of the oven and doused with sauce, which was promptly soaked up. Had no problem getting it out of greased/floured pan, after cooling in the pan for about an hour.

Way too dense!! Ok flavor but not as good as I thought it would be. If I ever decide to make it again, I will use cake flour which I hope will make for a lighter cake.

This was easy and amazing. It was very simple. I used some homemade buttermilk, and it worked out perfectly. Thank you for such a great recipe.

My infamous sweet tooth has been satisfied ! One of the most decadent cakes I've ever had the pleasure to bake & eat. Rich, sweet and oh so good. I did followed the other reviewers suggestion & added cinnamon & a dash of nutmeg to both the batter & sauce. A bigtime keeper. Thanks for sharing
