Easy to make and I was happy with the appearance of the end product, but oh-my-goodness, it is sickly sweet. I used unsweetened raspberries to cut the sweetness, but my kids (!) still wouldn't eat it; it was THAT sweet. I don't know if cutting the sugar drastically would change the chemistry of the cake and make it fail, but that's the only way I'd try this again.

It turned out not very sweet or flavorful at all--like a bland fortune cookie. I don't claim to have made it perfectly--I made the syrup first and it started to change texture before I added it. It wasn't horrible but not great, again, maybe my fault but it seems others have had problems too.

THIS CAKE IS NICE AND FLUFFY. I DID ADD SOME VARIATIONS TO THE RECIPE. I ADDED 1 TABLESPOON OF ORANGE ZEST, 1/2 TS OF ORANGE EXTRACT AND 1/2 TS OF VANILLA. I ADDED THESE BECAUSE WITHOUT IT THE CAKE IS A BIT BLAND. I ALSO LOWERED THE COOK TIME TO 35 MINUTES AND LOWERED THE TEMPERATURE TO 325 DEGREES. I WORK WITH AN ELECTRIC RANGE SO I KEPT A CLOSE EYE. ALL IN ALL A FABULOUS RECIPE. I PLAN TO SERVE IT WITH A WHIPPED TOPPING AND A TROPICAL FRUIT MEDLEY. ENJOY!!!

My friend and I made this cake...and followed each instruction very carefully. It went in looking like an angel food cake should, but didn't come out looking like one. Sure, it looked like a cake, but it didn't look like it had the light and fluffy texture an angel food cake should. When my friend and I tried it, it tasted like a normal yellow cake, and had that same heavy texture. It also tasted a bit like egg. I would suggest from making other angel food cakes to try it without the egg yolks. Whoever gave this recipe five stars has never had a real angel food cake.

We call this "Fortune Cookie Cake" because everyone who tastes it says it tastes like a fortune cookie! It has an Angel Food cake consistency, and mine rose well, but fell in the middle a bit as it cooled. Overall, it was great with strawberries and whipped cream, and I kinda like the fortune cookie taste! (I did add vanilla). Thanks for the recipe!!

This cake was ok, but i was very disappointed on how it didn't rise.and It smelled like a flan due to all the eggs. don't think i'll do this one again.
