This simple, old-fashioned cake tastes so good it will surprise you! As I remember my mom's delicious meals, this dessert was always the perfect ending. Mom always used "a dash of this and dab of that" to come up with what we thought was "the best"! — Rosemary Pryor, Pasadena, Maryland

I've been making this cake for years, since I got the recipe from another poster on a cooking forum. I used it as my wedding cake.It is not as light and fluffy as cake mix cakes, and does have somewhat the consistency of pound cake. I like that and it makes it sturdy enough for stacking and decorating multiple layers.Be sure to beat the eggs the full 5 minutes called for or it will be extremely dense.

The cake tasted good, but it was not light and fluffy. It was heavey and had the texture of a pound cake. Can anyone tell me what may have caused this?

Great recipe! I like light fluffy cakes so I added some more baking powder and add a little baking soda.

This is a super good cake. I use it for strawberry shortcake and it has always been a big hit at my home. It is great plain too. Try it, you'll love it!
