I really love this recipe- the texture is very much like a coffee cake if you follow the instructions about mixing exactly. Delicious with caramel frosting, but the cake is so delicious, I think I'll try it just sprinkled with powdered sugar next time. My friend loved it and requested it again!

I tried this cake for a friend's birthday and I was disappointed that it was so dry! I was hoping it would be moist as the title suggested. I did refrigerate it overnight, so perhaps it was my fault. Thankfully, I added a cream cheese based frosting which was the saving grace. I would not recommend this recipe.

The taste and flavor was excellent. The only thing that I found difficult was that it was very crumbly and was difficult to cut without falling apart. If you can fix it, it would be perfect.

My daughter likes cake only -- no icing -- so that presents a challenge. This cake was so so good. We gave it to our neighbors and their two young boys even raved about it and we loved it, too.

A much easier way to combine the ingredients (especially great if you lack a hand mixer) is to cream the butter and sugar; stir in the milk, eggs, and vanilla; then stir in the dry ingredients, sifted together. Smells like Thanksgiving and goes GREAT with a dollop of COLD, whipped cream! I baked mine in a bundt pan: about 75 minutes at 350 degrees.

I tried this recipe but it came out kinda dry. It has a good flavor but wasn't moist at all. I'll probably try it again but next time I'm going to add a little oil maybe that will help.

I made a rich caramel sauce to spoon over this and the final product is absolutely wonderful!!! The only thing missings is a really good quality french vanilla ice cream and a rich cup of freshly brewed coffee. I added a cup of raisins that I had soaked in hot water and I also followed a more traditional cake technique of creaming the sugar with the butter (or margarine... which I used), and then adding the eggs and vanilla. I added the combined dry ingredients to the sugar/margarine, and then stirred in my milk and raisins. Absolutely perfect!! A definite keeper of a recipe and one well worth serving to guests.

My husband has been asking for spice cake for some time now...he said this was great! I did everything as the recipe called for, except I added some confectioner's frosting after it cooled.

I made this but trying to get away from white flour i used all wheat.My bad it made it to dry and very dense. The flavor was there and good but i should have used white wheat flour not just whole wheat will try again with diff flour.

Although this was the first cake I'd ever tried to make, I found the instructions very easy to follow and had no problems during baking. I've served it on two seperate occasions and it's always been devoured very, very quickly. I definitrly recommend it to first-time bakers, or anyone with a love of spice cake in general. Try adding 1/2 cup of applesauce to make it more moist.

This recipe seemed a little odd to me, maybe because I don't have much experience with cakes, though. I've never cut the butter into dry ingredients except for streusel, so I decided to make this like a regular cake. I creamed the butter and sugar together, added the eggs and vanilla. Then I added the dry ingredients, and finally the milk. I baked in 2 9 inch pans, and the cake was very moist, albeit VERY dense (probable from using a mixer and beating to much). But...it tasted very good. I would make it again, but I will keep looking for the perfect spice cake recipe.

Spice cake is one of my favorite American cakes, and having lived in England for the past year and a half, I really appreciate being able to make a cake that really brings me back home. I made this particular cake for my British in-laws at Thanksgiving last year. It was a huge hit with my husband's family, so a few weeks ago I made it again in cupcake form for my co-workers. It is so warm and moist, and British buttercream icing really complements it well. The cupcakes kept for over a week, and they weren't even tightly covered--just a bit of foil draped over them! This recipe has turned out beautifully every time I've made it. This is a permanent addition to my recipe collection!

I made this for a birthday and was not happy with it at all. The cake batter was so thick that it burnt out my mixer--it was like pizza dough. The cake was very dry. The taste was okay, but not enough to make it again. It definitely needed icing. TOO DRY.

Let me start by saying that I am not a great Baker, however I made this cake for my kids and they loved it. My oldest took one to school and all the kids loved it. I put buttercream icing on it and it was definitely a hit with everyone.....
