This recipe is too hard to make. The batter was so stiff that it took forever to add the milk and flour alternating. I was not using an electric mixer, instead doing it all by hand and my arm was really tired by the time I finally finished mixing. In addition, I used frozen blueberries. After I managed to get the blueberries mixed into the dough, the mixture stiffened so badly that the whipped egg white was impossible to incorporate. I believe you must have electric equipment to make this properly. I will never make this recipe again.

Good basic cake. Nice texture, doesn't need a topping or icing. After seeing a few reviews of the "blandness", I wanted to add an extra punch just in case. I replaced the 1/3 cup milk with 1/3 cup fresh orange juice, and added a teaspoon of orange zest. I followed most of the steps, but I didn't not whip the egg whites into peaks. Regardless, it turned out really well! Come to think of it, I could have replaced the vanilla with orange extract. I will be returning to this recipe.

This recipe is a definite keepr. I have made it both with dairy and dairy free and you can't even tell the difference. Replace butter and milk with soy butter and soy milk and voila!! I've also quadrupled the recipe with great success!!! I love LOVE love this recipe!!

I found this to be dry and a bit boring.

AMAZING! The only thing different that I do is that I DOUBLE the recipe when I make it! I also add a lemon frosting that consists of powdered sugar, lemon juice, shredded lemon peel, and milk.

Loved it!! Was easy to make, a nice breakfast or brunch cake, not too sweet, moist, and the little crust that forms on top is great, its very pretty to serve. I will say I did change only two things after reading the other reviews - I added an extra ripe banana to the batter (only because I had one to get rid of.) I also added a teaspoon of almond extract, which I add to almost all of my cakes, breads, and muffins. I had some leftover cream cheese frosting from another recipe, and we put a dab of that on top once it hit the plate. We LOVED it. Thanks so much for sharing. Will add this to my box and surely make it again!
