NATHALEE DUPREE'S DAFFODIL CAKE
I love this cake. It is delicate and beautiful and yummy too! Nathalee DuPree is one of my top three favorite TV cooks (right after Julia Child and Ina Garten). Your stand mixer makes this cake easier than it looks. If you make it please post a picture if you can!

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as expected. The cake was dry and the glaze was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

[email protected]This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze next time I make it.

[email protected]I was so excited to try this recipe, but unfortunately it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the glaze was too sweet. I think I might have overcooked the cake or used the wrong type of flour.

[email protected]I made this cake a few weeks ago and it was a huge hit! I was a little worried because I'm not a very experienced baker, but the instructions were really clear and easy to follow. The cake turned out perfect, and it was so moist and flavorful.
