The cake looked really spectacular when baked, however it tasted like cornbread and that wasn't what I wanted, it was a lot of effort for such disappointing results,

I tried this recipe today, after searching for a good, light white cake recipe. It definitly wasn't what I was looking for. Despite being slightly moist and springy, it had a dense and sandy quality when eaten that we didn't like. It also definitly tastes like sweet cornbread...not at all what I had hoped for. ETA....This recipe (along with French Silk Frosting is staight out of an older edition of Betty Crocker. At least give them credit to the ORIGINAL author)

Absolutely perfect cake! I frosted it with whipped cream, sugar and a bit of vanilla and put raspberries all over the top. It was a huge hit at my 5 year old's birthday party.

I followed this recipe exactly. It came out very heavy, dry, and tough.

This cake turned out beautifully!! Nice and moist and not too sweet on it's own. Made it for at the restaurant for a nice light dessert. Filled it with lemon curd and topped with a buttercream icing.

Ok, first of all I LOVED THIS RECIPE!! I cut the recipe to half to make a one layer cake, used maybe a 6 inch cake round (?), I don't think I needed all the batter, cause the pan is so small. And I used vanilla buttercream frosting, yummy! So it became the top layer for my 3-tier cake. Fabulous! Everyone was very impressed at my parents suprise anniversary dinner party!! Thanks Ginger!

I do agree that it tastes too much like baking powder. I followed the recipe step by step.

The cake was very dense & not moist at all. This might be because I used regular flour instead of cake flour.

Great texture! I loved it with the French Silk Frosting and also cream cheese frosting was good as well. Everyone asks for it for their birthday. Would win a prize anytime!

easy to make, was not dense, I guess you could say fluffy. But it did taste like baking powder. We followed the directions exactly until I realized that batter tasted so awful. I was going to add more sugar but decided on an extra teaspoon of vanilla. It's dry, crumbly and still tastes bad. I'm going to turn it into a poke cake with some vanilla pudding, maybe that will make it edible.

The cake was very good, however it was a little dry. I did not think it tasted like cornbread at all, nOr did I have the trouble with the cake flattening.

This is the worst cake recipe I have ever tried. The texture was dense, the flavor was strange and the cake was so heavy that if I drilled a hole in the centre I could use it as a spare tire. What a waste of ingredients.
