This cake is not what thought it was going to be.. Don't get my wrong it was very good. I made cupcakes and they were not a sweet as i though. Instead I am using them as short cakes with Strawberries and whipped cream mmmmm...

Makes me think of the old days when all cakes were from scratch and the baking of them was a special treat. Delicious cake!

This was *very tasty! However, after using it in a cake decorating class, I'll say basic icing is too overpowering to go with it. It's delightful on its own.

I made this cake for work this week. It got rave reviews! I substituted half of the vanilla with almond extract. I did not make the frosting, but frosted it with buttercream frosting instead and had it decorated with a picture of a turkey. It was a very dense cake, but it made it good for decorating (less crumbs). I might try using more eggs next time to see if I can get it a bit lighter and fluffier. But I have to say thank you...I have a request from a co-worker to make a birthday cake for her using this recipe (she doesn't bake.)

decent flavor the the cake is very very dense. Not going to make this one again for a traditional birthday cake. I baked it in a bunt pan and covered with a chocolate frosting from this website. The frosting was good, the cake was not.

The Only change i made to this recipes was that i added 1 more egg.I was really worried about this being an heavy cake from the batter being a bit thicker than most cake batters.But to my Suprise this is a very light and moist cake!I will be making this again.Everyone loved it and i made this cake for a 4th of July Girl Scout picnic useing buttercream icing,decorating it to look like a huge slice of watermelon.None of it was left at the end of the day!THNX MUCH:)

I got this recipe off this website about 6 years ago... could it be that long? I think it was. I never post reviews, but I think that this one deserves a rave review. As a cake decorator, I've made this cake countless times over the years. It is dense and rich. Used it in wedding cakes and it perfect for 3D cakes. It is delicious. I love the flavor. I usually make this cake without the frosting following the cake recipe exactly. Sometimes, I'll add different flavors: ground almond (about 1/2-3/4 cup) and almond extract instead of vanilla or lemon zest(about 3-4 lemons) with lemon extract. Tried adding cocoa one time and that didn't come out that great. It is delicious with a chocolate buttercream frosting. Give it a try...

The sauce was incredible. It really gave the cake its flavor. Without it, I found it to be somewhat bland. What would have given it flavor would have been some diced granny apples in the batter. Next time I will try that.

We loved this cake, particularly because the glaze recipe was very generous and provided lots of gooo for the cake. It was easy to do, and even my kids loved eating it.

This is a very dense, almost like a pound cake. It is really good, I don't make it with the frosting, I use a chocolate truffle frostin and it is sooo yummy. My family loves it. I used it when I want a rich, dense, buttery cake...

I don't know if I did something wrong because it had such high marks, but my family didn't like this one. It was really heavy, like a brick. The frosting was also too much - maybe I beat it too long. The recipe doesn't indicate how long to beat it. I was disappointed at the family gathering when we finally cut into this one.
