I made this and the texture was fine. I used lemon flavoring instead of vanilla. Good tasting cake. Quick and easy.

My mom used to make a cake with whipping cream. Her recipe is impossible to decipher ("half carton this and a pinch of that..."). This recipe came closest. First time for me making cake from scratch and this turned out just as good as my mother's!! I did not have cake flour so I substituted 1 1/2 all-purpose minus 2 tbs and added 2 tbs of corn starch (something I found on the internet). And I cut the sugar down to 3/4 cups. My mother usually baked hers at 375 for about 25minutes. It turned out wonderful and even better the next day!! I will be making this again and again!

Easy, delicious cake! I made it because I had a large carton of heavy whipping cream I needed to use up and was really happy with the way this turned out. Very light and much better tasting than store-bought cake mix.

WOW! This cake is delicious. It tastes like a gourmet split between wedding cake and pound cake. I put it in a 8x8x2 square pan and it made a thick cake. Delicious!

It's still in the oven, but as far as being easy to make, it's been fine. The 9inch pan was not large enough, and now my oven needs cleaning, and my house smells, but hopefully it will be tasty after the mess is cleaned up. I'll edit my review upon completion...

ok - but nothing really special. Hubby thinks it's better than box, but I prefer the flavor and texture of box. This is certainly an easy recipe.

This cake is excellent! The more days that go by the more it tastes like a pound cake. It also freezes well. Perfectly moist, reminded me of a wedding cake flavor.

I didn't care for this cake at all. It tasted just like Jiffy muffin mix to me. Not a good thing to make cupcakes out of. They fell completely apart and the edges were very crispy. I will keep looking for a good cake recipe.

I just made this cake and I must say its great unlike others have said I don't think it came out dry at all and the center was cooked perfectly. Its light, fluffy and has a nice texture. I myself doing a slightly more low carb baking style, replaced the 1 cup white sugar with 1/2 cup splenda baking blend. And cooked it for about 32 minutes. So altogether a great cake.

This cake is awesome! I was looking for a quick cake recipe for my son's 4th birthday. It was easy to make, followed the recipe exactly. Yummy!!! Light, delicate, fluffy, and just the right sweetness. I will definitely be using this for my "standard" white cake recipe. Thanks!!
