Love this cake. It's easy to make and it always turns out delicious! The batter looks a little watery, but after it bakes it turns into a super moist cake.

After reading all the reviews, I thought I would give it a try. I saw that some had trouble and figured that would be me. To my delight, this cake came out perfect. I loved the density, the flavor as di d those I shared this cake with. My only concern was the amount of time that it took me to put it all together. I know it was because it was my first time making the cake. I am looking forward to making this cake again.
