I would not recommend this recipe. The cake was dry and bland.

The cake was very dense and moist. The flavor was good, but I think I would have preferred a lighter cake.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use less sugar.

I made this cake for Easter last year. My grandmother used to make this cake for family gatherings. It was a big hit! My picky 8 year old nephew ate 2 pieces!
