This cake was alright. It was easy to make. My only complaint was that it tasted a bit like eggs. I won't make this one again I don't think. I think it might be quite good with a good buttercream or something of the like.

This was SO moist and good--and stayed that way for several days. So easy, and yes, DO add all that vanilla. A dense cake with a fine crumb that is a nice change from the usual spongy variety of cake.

Pretty good...I used this recipe for cupcakes and they came out very moist. I usually add a little salt, but I forgot this time - made a big difference...Needs salt to bring out the sweetness...Didn't have cake flour - used 7/8 c. flour + 2 T. cornstarch for each cup cake flour...I'm planning to frost them - hopefully that will help with the sweetness...Didn't use almond extract, just extra vanilla (LOVE vanilla extract!). Also used 2/3 c. heavy cream + 1/3 c. vanilla caramel coffee-mate. Overall, a good recipe, just need to tweak (sp?) it a little bit.

I was looking for a sculpted-cake recipe and this one is terrific! Very dense crumb that holds up well to sculpting... and a wonderful flavor. (I didn't change the recipe one bit, aside from baking it in 4 small oval layers for about 35 minutes.) Came out very moist and yummy!

Excellent cake but I would add a little salt to bring our the flavor more-maybe 1/2 to 1 tsp. But a nice dense cake, especially good with raspberry sauce on top.

I needed a cake recipe for a sculpted cake, which I've never done before and found this one. I agree, it's dry without something else, and definitely watch it in the oven, don't overbake. But with a good buttercream frosting it worked very well. Perfect for sculpting cakes. Thanks.

This was wonderful and easy. I used 2 cups of sugar instead of 2 and a half cups. It was so moist. Just be careful not to overbake. Good with flavored whipped cream or just by itself. I will make this again and again.

A little disapointed on how this cake turned out. You definitly need to add a bit of salt to even out the sweetness. Also very dry....I will not use again, thanx anyways.

Very good. However, as my dad said, "Only great if you like things really sweet".

Sorry to give this a low rating, but I found this rather bland, and even a little dry.

Great cake, and easy to make. I baked in a bundt pan, and it was almost too much batter, but it worked. Glazed with Satiny Chocolate Glaze, from this site. I added a teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla, but next time I'd add less almond. I made this for my hubby's birthday, and it was perfect!!

Wonderful! A tiny bit dry for eating plain, though I did repeatedly!! Absolutely delicious as part of a strawberry shortcake! Thank you!
