Loved it. I am making this recipe for my in-laws 40th Anniversary. Defnitely has an interesting density and texture, not like a box from a cake which is why i really like it. I also found a yummy buttercream white chocolate frosting. this combination is to die for!

    Tastewise, the cake was rich and moist. The only problem I have with the cake was that it was rather dense. Texture was very, very fine though. Made this for my daughter's b'day. Thank you for sharing.

    Good stuff! My cake also had a yummy crust! I think I know why, if you don't want a crust, make sure the egg whites are folded in good! I didn't notice I hadn't done it enough until I started putting the batter into the pans. I made the frosting and ended up not having enough. So, I made another 1/2 of the recipe, then it made plenty. I took it to my grandma's house for christmas eve and everyone loved it! I will definately be naking this again!!

    we just tried this recipe among some others to decide what to use for a wedding cake, and this one won hands down. Everyone who tried it loved it, and my future mother in law about melted it was so good in her opinion. We sampled it with a classic buttercream icing. Even rich as they both were, I couldnt resist having two pieces worth.
