This is a great alternative to boxed cake mixes. I especially like that this cake requires no huge amount of egg whites; (what a waste of eggs.) You can also pour the mixture into a greased 8 inch round baking pan instead of a loaf pan. I did not try the icing in this recipe- I frosted my cake with chocolate icing. My family likes all things chocolate and rarely really enjoys white cake; they loved this one; (the chocolate icing helped this!) Great classic cake, I will make it again.

Just made this cake and it's very good. I used self rising flour and omitted salt and baking powder. I also didn't beat the batter for two minutes and cake turned out fluffy. Very quick & easy! I like that the recipe makes a small amount. I didn't make the icing, I used some I had on hand.

The flavor of this cake is really good, and the cake is very moist. However, the cake is kind of flat, so do not expect a "fluffy" cake. It isn't heave though.

I think the flour that is listed for the frosting is actually part of the cake, instead .. .. .. a mistake in the directions.

I have made this several times and will continue to make it. I didn't care for the icing so I use a simple chocolate buttercream instead. My husband did really like the icing listed here though. I did use butter instead of shortening but didn't change anything else. It makes a perfect little cake for two without having a bunch of wasted cake. Thank you for posting this recipe.
