My sister and i tried to make this cake. We followed the directions. We put it in the oven and after few moments we smelt something burning. When we went to check on it. It had pretty much exploded. It was all over the racks and caked on the bottom of the oven. We had to turn off the oven and let it dry a little before we could even pull it out of the oven. We had to throw away the pans. We spent over an hour scraping bits of this cake off of the racks. We still have not finished cleaning the bottom of the oven. To top it all off it smelled absolutely awful. I was very disappointed with this recipe. It looked nothing like cake. I will NEVER make this again. I might never even eat cake again.

I made this cake for an accomplished baker, I wanted to make it from scratch, my cake turned out great, the only suggestion, I followed was, to beat it till you got the air bubbles out...nice and fluffy. thank you for this recipe..........

This was my first time making any cake from scratch, I have always used the boxed cakes. This was very easy to understand and follow even without a wire whisk, tabletop mixer, or handheld mixer, recipe came out perfectly. I used only shortening as the recipe was written that way. The only difference I made was I only baked the cake for 37 minutes. I had the intentions of checking it at that time but when I put the toothpick in it was already done. I was very impressed, I think this cake came out better than any boxed cake I have ever made! I am going to make a from scratch fresh strawberry frosting. Will definately be using this recipe again and again.

Not very good. It was edible, but slightly dry and heavy. I'm not the best cake baker, so maybe I did something wrong, but I don't plan on trying this one again. I think "Four Egg Yellow Cake" from this site was better.

I was searching for a shortcake recipe to go with some fresh strawberries. I did not have adequate ingredients on hand, after doing a further search, found this yellow cake. I used butter, and only baked for 35 minutes. I do believe if I had baked it longer, it would have burned. The cake came out perfect, no overpowering flavors, and the strawberries on this cake, made it perfect. The only reason for the four instead of five stars, is the length of time to bake.

I made this cake for the cowboys. The first time a tried a layer cake. Bad idea. The layers were too thin. The batter seemed to separate on me. I made it again, this timing using 1 1/2 cups milk and a bit more sugar and baked in a 9x13 as suggested. It was very moist and tasty

I was excited to try out this recipe because I wanted to make cupcakes from scratch instead of using a box mix. I should have stuck to the box mix. They tasted like corn muffins and they were very dry. I had to bake another batch using a box mix that I had in the house.

Not a very good recipe. It falls in the center, regardless of the precautions you take, and I just didn't like how it tasted.

I was very hesitant about triyng this cake, and just in case I bought a box of mix, but I didn't use it, because this cake was wonderfull! I use 2 9 inch round pans and I didn't use the water bath, and it was great, I used for my daughter's birthday cake with Rick's buttercream frosting and everyone loved-it!

If I had to rate the recipe strictly on taste I would give it a five. I baked it for my daughter's birthday cake and used 2 9in pans and was hoping to be able to frost it, but it was very crumbly and basically fell apart when I tried to take it out of the pans. I wish I could find a good layer cake recipe that would rise and not crumble to pieces when I frosted it. Great on taste, poorly on staying together. Wondering if it's my Baker's Secret pans I used. Hmm......

I needed a simple cake recipe to make from scratch with very few ingredients. This fit the bill and it was delicious too! I followed the other reviewers' suggestions and only used 2 tsp. baking powder and it came out wonderfully. I was pleasantly surprised by how well this turned out. Will be keeping this recipe.

For someone who can barely make a cake from a box, this was awesome! I made it as a cake and as cupcakes. It came out GREAT! A family favorite, YUM! It came out of the pan flawlessly and the taste was good too. Now to find a flawless, easy, icing recipe... I'm not so good at that, yet.
