those who gave this cake recipe high marks must know something the rest of us don't. Against my better judgement I put everything in the mixing bowl as directed, instead of creaming butter/sugar, beating in eggs, adding flour--as all other cake recipes instruct. Made this for my daughter's bday. It was leaden and hard. So disappointed--she even asked why didn't I use a box mix instead.

This cake was just what I wanted.Reading the other reviews beforehand(too dense) I simply reversed the order in which i mixed the ingredients. First I mixed the sugar and butter until fluffy,then added the eggs 1by1, then having put all the dry ingredients together beforehand I added a little at a time alternating with the milk. Lastly, I added the vanilla. It turned out very light and fluffy and tasty too!!

This cake turned out to be too salty. I made this marble cake for a teacher on the last day of class. I tried to split the batter in half so that my family could also have a cake. So I don't know if that had something to do with it... Otherwise, other than that, it was pretty good.

This cake was super easy to make, I love that everything went into 1 bowl making less clean up! I made this cake into a Lightning McQueen cake for my son's birthday, and the cake was very moist and enjoyable! I would definately make this recipe again!

I made this for my dad on Father's Day! He really liked it. We prefer light cakes and not those with 3 sticks of butter! I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup because he doesn't like things too sweet, but it was still very very good. Wait for it to cool down completely and then dig in! It'll be worth the wait. I am making another tomorrow!

I made this recipe and it was a success. My advice is to eat it when it has cooled down. Will definitely make it again but next time will add more chocolate powder as I felt the chocolate flavor wasn't rich enough for my taste. I suggest you do the same if you want to feel the difference between the vanilla and the chocolate.

I had tried this recipe on Friday June 5, 09 and I found out that the way that it was design made the cake look flat. Even with a soft butter. So I tried a different way and I found out that if you mix all your dry (flour, baking poweder, salt, and sugar) and butter in a mixer until it look like crumbs then you can add the liquids (eggs, vanilla, and milk) it gives it a nicer texture and makes it really smooth. Plus the hight will increase if you do it this way

Very easy to make and came out great. I followed the recipe almost exactly. Only I used brown suger, made the chocolate part about half (made it more chocolatie) added an extra teaspoon coco. Can't wait to try it using all these other suggestions

I agreee with other reviewers that the cake is dense, but if you are aware of that going in, it's delicious. If you don't want a dense marble cake, look for a different recipe and stop trying to modify this one to turn it into something it's not. The first time I made this cake I baked it in a loaf pan (to satisfy my 6 year-old son). I loved it, he didn't, so I shared it with some of my high school students. They loved it, too, and asked me to make another one for them. I just made it again to share with them for the holidays.

Not bad - it definitely did the trick but I thought it was maybe a little too dense.

I followed the recipe to a t, with the exception of "substituting" cake flour for all-purpose (take out 2 T less per cup of flour and sift again). It was pretty good, but it definitely needs some modifications. For one, the cake was very dry - if I make it again I'll add half of a pudding mix to it to make it more moist. I also think the vanilla part of the cake could be more vanilla-y. After taking out the 3/4 cup for the chocolate, I might add a little more vanilla, too. I used 2 9" pans to bake so it made a thin layer cake and it took just under 20 min to bake. Other than that, kudos for being a very easy recipe to make and easily modified.

I really wanted to like this cake... However, it was very dense, it did not rise and the flavor just wasn't there. Needless to say, I could not serve this cake to my party guests in good conscience. I was forced to make my "go to" Black Magic cake, from this site. Everyone loves that cake...
