confused
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I bought Down Home w/the Neelys last summer. I tried the Sock It To Me Cake. There was something amiss w/the recipe as... soon as I began.....In the book it only calls for 1/4 c. of flour for the entire cake. Well right there I could see something wasn't right. After messing around w/adapting the recipe to actually bake up as a cake, I didn't like it. Now looking on Food Net work, here, the cake part of this recipe is completely different. What the heck?! Was the book a typo?Read more

Wonder what duncan hines would say?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been making this cake for years! And Love Love Love it. Want to make it better? Add 2 more eggs and an extra two... tablespoons of sour cream. Also cut the filling by a third. It's a little too much There is never much left over when I make it. By the way this has been on the side of the Duncan Hines box for over 30 years.Read more

Really Good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used the online recipe, and was very easy to follow...Great way to use a box cake mix up. The cake was really moist and my... icing came out perfect. This recipe is now a family favorite...It is sooooooooooooooo good. Thanks Mama Neely for sharingRead more

Really Frustrating!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

The Neely's have been on talk shows just recently pushing this cake...which recipe do they suggest you follow? ...the... cookbook recipe WITH it's online cake flour measurement corrections OR their food network version made with Cake mix? And is the Food Network monitoring any of this! ...obviously I'm not the only one confused by a treasured "family" recipe that has 2 completely different versions! Read more
