    This cake was delicious-- moist, tender, aromatic. However, it was way too much for my 9x5 loaf pan and overflowed, making a mess all over the oven. I measured everything so I'm not sure what happened, but it was a lovely cake. Also, it took longer to cook than indicated.

    This is a great recipe. I`m not a big fan of amaretto , so instead i used orange juice concentrate and I served it with vanilla pudding and blueberry sauce. It was delicious and very moist.Also I didn`t have cake flour on hand so, I did a little research and found that I can use all purpose flour and corn starch. First put 2 Tbs corn starch into the bottom of the 1 cup then fill it with flour, for the half cup you put 1 Tbs of corn starch then fill it up with the flour. Hope it was helpful.

    I agree 100% with the poster who said it's unfair to make subs and then rate a recipe poorly. It was based on a post where the person cut the butter to 1/3 of what the recipe called for. That's like saying, "I didn't have any chicken broth so I used peanut butter." It doesn't make any sense. That being said, I made some subs to make this recipe more healthful for me and my husband, and it still came out wonderfully. My husband went to culinary school, and that's one of the signs of a good cook - making substitutions to make a recipe your own, but substitutions that make sense.

    What I subbed (all equal amounts: virgin coconut oil for the butter, whole wheat pastry flour for the cake flour, Splenda for the sugar, and triple sec for the amaretto. I don't like amaretto and had exactly 2T of triple sec left. I also used a 10" round silicon pan instead of a loaf pan, as my oven tends to bake unevenly in deep pans.

    Otherwise, I followed the directions. The cake came out wonderfully! I can only imagine how awesome it must be if made as directed. Next time, however, I might split the sugar and Splenda - maybe 1 cup Splenda and 1 cup sugar - as all Splenda tends to give a tiny aftertaste.

    GREAT recipe!

    My daughter just turned four, and she wanted something with strawberries for her birthday cake. When we saw this recipe we knew it was perfect. With the exception of measuring ingredients, my daughter was able to make this cake almost completely by herself (another one of her requests was to make her own cake. Everyone loved it. Thanks! :-
