    I first made this for a friend's birthday and everyone went crazy over it. People that swore they weren't cake eaters tried it and said they fell in love : I made it a second time just for fun (since my family loves sweets and I love to bake and got the same reactions. I love this recipe and think everyone should try it! :

    Mary Ann - Buttermilk comes in a liquid form...I used that and it turned out great! I don't know how the powder form would work.

    Today is my Mom's 71st birthday, so I made this cake for her. She loved it!! It was decadently delicious. I will be making this one often. I did two layer and let it cool on a cooling rack for about 30 min. I also added 1/2 tsp. vanilla to the frosting. Thanks, Sandra you put a huge smile on my Mom's face.

    Note the comments from those who said they watched Sandra prepare the cake on the show. When making this type of cake (carrot cake category I always make my own cream cheese frosting and I simply use 3 cake pans for a taller cake.

    I used this recipe but only made it a 2 layer cake. It was easy and by using her idea to put it in the refrigerator it didn't crumble. I will make it again and I did put it on Facebook where friends said they were going to make it.

    I should have read the reviews first. My cake did crumble and the icing was a little bit too sweet for my taste.

    I think I should have waited longer than the recommended 10 minutes before inverting to the cooling racks. I should have used parchment paper on the bottom pans as well. The idea of firming it up in the fridge before cutting in half and icing would have helped. There was no way I could have cut the crumbled cake into a four layer cake.

    The ideas on how to help firm this cake up by adding oil and chopping the nuts finer for the cake, and to make homemade cream cheese frosting would probably fix my problems.

    I would have liked a much denser cake as well. Like the pudding / liquid oil cake type.

    Hats off to the people who were so successful with this reciepe. I have to give Sandra Lee the benefit of the doubt because there were far more successes than the few of us who had trouble.

    I followed the recipe to the tea and it turned out bad. It was my first attempt at a 4 layer cake and the layers fell apart as I tried to work with them and crumbled as I tried to ice them. None of my family members could stand it and it had to be thrown away - what a waste as it is an expensive cake to make. If you make it I would reccommend that you do it as a 2 layer cake.
