    The cake came out amazing and instead of the whip cream (since my family and I are trying to watch our weight I used strawberry jam instead. Also since I love strawberries it made it even better. Everything worked out well and I followed the recipe exactly. So excited!!!!

    i love this recipe! i am making it again tomorrow for my sister and sending one to my best friends house! also if you dont over mix the batter the cake is really soft, fluffy, and thick, i almost couldn't fit it in my cake holder. p.s. do not add food coloring after mixing the frosting do it before or it will be lumpy and look like vomit

    Just wanted to give another tip regarding the whip cream, use a mixer, it works much better than a whisk. And expect to mix for at least 10-15mins. I've learned that the longer you mix the cream the thicker it becomes. It really is an excellent recipe, follow it exactly as it is and your sure to have a scrumptious cake.

    Great recipe, with professional looking and tasting results. If you can't keep the frosting on the cake, it's probably because you need more practice baking and making frosting, and not because of the recipe.

    LOVED this recipe. To make the frosting, put the metal bowl in the fridge for a couple hours beforehand. It mixes better. Nothing wrong w this recipe, just follow it as it says. It comes out so moist.

    My stepson and I made this and had to double the cake batter mix.... the frosting doesn't stay put and slides of the cake... I don't think I will ever make this cake again!

    Wow! I just finished making this cake and it looks delicious. I didn'tt want to cut it. The cake was very moist while decorating which in turn made it a very soft and wet cake to eat I did not use the recipe for the whipping cream, since many had trouble with it. Instead, I used cool whip, which is much fluffier; it melts a bit quicker so I had to frost a bit faster than usual, but it is much easier to handle. I will def. use this recipe again!!

    This was a great recipe!! My family asks for all the time and I have even made it for a friend's Bridal Shower. Delicious and beautiful! I made the last one using strawberries, blues and rasps! Perfect!
