This is a great & easy recipe that yields an excellent cake! It tastes very 'homemade' as opposed to many boxed-mix cakes, which tend to have an 'artificial' taste. I read the reviews before trying this one, and while I see what people meant about the cake being dense, I think that was part of what made it so appealing. I did not find it dry at all, though it did dry out about three days after I made it. (I think this was more due to the container i kept it in than due to the cake itself.) A lot of cakes are too moist, falling apart when being eaten. This one held together beautifully. It did not sink in the middle, as was the case with some of the reviewers. It was lopsided, but that's due to my oven, which isn't level. Fortunately, with enough frosting (cream cheese frosting...mmmmm!), you couldn't tell it was lower on one side! Even my son, who has never been big on cake, thought this one was good enough to eat four or five pieces! This is really something, seeing as how he hardly ever eats even one piece of other cakes I've made. I decided to go with 2 tsp. of baking powder after reading the reviews, and 3 tsp. of vanilla, as I prefer a sweeter cake. Now you'll have to excuse me as I am heading back to the kitchen to make another one of these super yummy cakes! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
