Finding this recipe made me so very happy. I'd forgotten what a good 'plain' cake recipe can do. Batter can carry cocoa powder or lime zest or raisins or shredded coconut or crushed pineapple or a spice mix. Or fill the cupcake liners half way and drop in some cookie dough, a dollop of apple sauce, or a chocolate kiss before topping off with the rest of the batter.

Very tasty. Not sweet like box cake. A good frosting gives it just the right balance.

I just made this minutes ago and it came out fluffy and soft and comforting. I have a lot less guilt in eating sweets I make vs store bought with questionable filler ingredients. I substituted light coconut milk for milk and it did change the taste I'm sure but I enjoy it. I had to add a little more coconut milk to make it smooth like a typical cake batter since coconut milk is thick but other than that no other adjustments. I don't use milk because canned milk (coconut, evaporated, condensed) lasts me longer thus saving me money. Not too sweet, not too anything, just baby bear ??. Thank you for sharing this. I feel comfortable enough to add, lemon/lime zest for some pop or orange or cinnamon for a treat. This has given me new confidence in my baking! Yes! THANK YOU.

Delicious! Added some crushed pineapple and blue food coloring(for the boys) and topped it off with whipped cream! Yummy, my whole family loved it-easy to make and uses ingredients that are always on hand! Definitely try this recipe, easy enough to let the kiddos help.

I followed this recipe exactly and my cake came out fluffy and moist. Delicious with or without icing. Best cake I've had in a long time. I will use this over and over again, forget store bought!!!

I made cupcakes with this recipe-they were AWESOME! I did do a bit of tweaking...after reading several reviews,I opted to use light olive oil(helped keep it moist),& then used 1/2 & 1/2 instead of milk(for richness),& a tsp of vanilla...it really helps to have all ingredients at room temperature,as well.Since box cake mixes have so much in them,it is a real pleasure to find a recipe so simple,& so delicious!

I addedd the extra milk and made muffins. They looked nice, but were crumbly and tasted much like corn bread. Not light and fluffy as I was hoping. Would not consider this to be a white cake at all. Guess I'll keep searching for a good white cake recipe.
