Great flavor. The texture isn't as dense as a normal butter cake, which I was a little disappointed about. Other than that, great.

Perfect for apple upside down cake. I halved the recipe and baked it in an 8X8 pyrex dish. First, I peeled, cored and sliced apples into 8ths. and placed at the bottom of the buttered dish(in a pretty pattern). I then made a caramel sauce, and poured on top of apples. Lastly, I poured the cake batter on top of evreything and baked as usual. Came out fabulously perfect! Can make it using a butterscotch syrup too instead of the caramel. Did not make the sauce that comes with this recipe. I just served with a drizzle of store bought caramel sauce. Yummm!

Thanks. This is an excellent cake and after reading a review that said it did not have much taste I question if they used pure vanilla. This will make a difference. Also, it is better if it is allowed to age for a couple of days. A cake any baker would be proud to serve.

This recipe was absolutely delicious and moist. It was simple to make and I had raving reviews from people who tasted this cake.

This cake was quite good. I have to admit that I didn't do the butter sauce, however I can see how this cake could seem dry to some, as it did to me somewhat. Next time I think I will try substituting oil for part of the butter; I've have good success in doing that with other cake recipes to make them moister.

This recipe was a bit disapointing :( I had really high hopes because because of the ingredients and reviews so maybe that was the problem. It really sounded delicious, especially the butter sauce! I make pound cakes quite often (family favorite) and have had some great ones made from recipes on this site, but this one was not so great. After sitting for a day the cake was really dry except for the sauce soaked parts.The only way I would serve this to company is topped with a fruit sauce, like sauteed strawberries and sugar, but I won't be making this one again.

*THUD!* This was FABULOUS! Be sure to beat it well, don't let it fall, etc. I substituted butter flavoring for most of the vanilla extract. Let it cool, but don't let it sit overnight before depanning. Try it with chocolate shavings over the top!
