last night i made this cake for the first time. the cake itself was pretty good, and is good to eat anytime. it was like cornbread, only more fluffy and sweeter.

the balsamic syrup was so-so. i didn't care too much for it and should've cut that recipe in 1/2. and i don't know if it's me or the balsamic vinegar, but it was pungent when i was boiling it.

This cake was absolutely delicious. My husband and I thought it was so moist and had an amazing texture. It came out perfect and was so easy. I would definately make this for a dinner party or for a brunch. The balsamic syrup does add another dimension to the flavour and was a lovely complement. I'm trying not to eat the whole cake tonight... this might be tough.

As usual with Giada, this recipe was the best.
Love the flavor of the cake with rosemary and the syrup was excellent.

I have tried many of Giada's recipes and this is the first one that I tried to the "T" and did not like. I did everything as she says and it was just plain weird tasting. The balsamic syrup made me gag and the rosemary was overwhelming. I made it again without the rosemary and added some rasberries 86'ed the syrup and it was actually good. The original cake was moist and texturally wonderful just a bit to savory for my taste.

What a delicious cake! Moist, light, and not too sweet, and the rosemary is mysteriously spicy. I loved the syrup, but my husband didn't. It's certainly intense, so use sparingly, but it definitely adds another dimension to the unexpected flavors of the cake. Perfect as a dessert, for breakfast, or with a cup of capuccino on a chilly afternoon!

I made this for the first time to bring to a dinner party. Everyone loved it. I am thinking next time that I might add a little lemon zest to the batter.

I served this as a dessert for a wine pairing with Pinot Grigio. It was great! Dinner was Parmesan crusted chicken over penne with butternut squash sauce.

Excellent cake - has a good fresh flavor and isn't too sweet. It's good for dessert or breakfast. I made the syrup, but skipped putting on the cake since it really didn't need it.

Made this many times as a side dish not a dessert. Very good with fried chicken or fish. My mother and sister loved it and they are great cooks from the south!
