This cake did taste like sweetened cornmeal. I was very unhappy with the results. It was moist but had a bad flavor.

I have to say this is one of the best yellow cakes I have tasted. I have been baking for many years from easy recipes to complicated ones calling for many ingredients. This yellow cake is a great basic standard to keep in your file. The taste and texture reminds one of old childhood memories when everything was home made. It truly is very moist. The first time I made it, I didn't have enough butter in the house. I substituted the same measurement of vegetable oil. The results were terrific. There is absolutely NO comparison to a box mix with their artificial taste. This cake tastes of fresh ingredients.

This cake is ok. It is a recipe that works well if you're going to frost the cake with exquisite frosting. I found this cake to be almost indistinguishable from a cake mix, in both texture and taste. And knowing what I know now, I would opt for a cake mix over this recipe.

This recipe was very easy to make, but the finished product tastes very much like sweetened cornbread. Maybe substituting milk for the buttermilk would help the taste? I probably will not make it again.

I really did not enjoy this recipe!! My family thought the cake tasted like sweetened cornbread!! My cupcakes only tasted a little better when I put chocolate frosting ON them!! Also, the batter makes well over 12 cupcakes~!!~ I really did not enjoy this recipe. Although it was an easy and quick recipe, I did not like the taste!! Maybe with a little alterations (for instance, using milk instead of buttermilk) the cake will taste better!! :( :( :(

Ok, here's the deal. I am a huge snob about making things (especially desserts) from scratch. I am also pregnant, and have been craving Betty Crocker's Super Moist Yellow Cake with my grandmother's cream cheese chocolate frosting--no if's and's or but's. I've tried every yellow cake recipe I can find to try and avoid being seen with a box cake, and this is one of the best, but I have to swallow my pride on this one. This is a moist, tasty cake, but Betty does it better.

This cake was very moist, but just not sweet enough in my opinion. In any case the kids liked it with chocolate icing, but not my husband. Needless to say I had tons of leftovers. It is a good cake and like I said very moist, just not the one for my tastes.

This is a geat cake. Very moist. I recently halved the recipe & made it into two 9 inch layers (used 2 eggs) and frosted with Carolines Chocolate Fudge Frosting. I do not understand the bad reviews of it being like cornbread, but I have seen that comment on other yellow cake reviews also. THe only thing I did different was to also beat the batter well after adding the eggs, and then after all the buttermilk was added, I beat the batter for a minute or so (more than the just incorporated as stated in the recipe). I have made this many times- always great.

Worked as advertised...a very good cake. I substituted sour milk (a tablespoon of lemon juice mixed with each cup of milk) for buttermilk, and it still worked perfectly.

This is going to be a good fall-back recipe for yellow cakes for me. It was about as easy as batter gets, and it came out pretty well. you may want to tweak the actual recipe... mine came out on the sweet side.
