This was a delicious recipe, it's definitely 5 star worthy, but only because i followed the many modifications suggested by other reviewers which is why I gave the original only 3 stars. First, I added a package of instant vanilla pudding to the dry ingredients. Then I added 3/4 cup of sour cream and an extra 1/2 cup of milk to the wet ingredients. The cake was moist, tangy and flavourful without being too sweet.

This is my go to cake. My daughter harassed me into making homemade chocolate icing and we needed a cake to slather our creation on. This cake never fails to be super moist, really easy, and fantastically tasty. I always half the recipe and put it in a mini bundt pan.

It was wonderful my family loves it it was as easy as using a box cake mix but tastes much better! I made it in a 9x13 pan took ten min longer was well worth it.Way to go Paula love that butter!

This cake is SOOOOOOOOO Delicious.
My eyes were rolling into the back of my head with each bite.
It's really easy to remember too.
And so easy.
Its so dense and spongy and yummy. If you are a birthday cake fan like me you will love this..
(I used Betty Crocker's Vanilla frosting for the icing
My mom told me this was the best cake she ever had.....

Whoever said that this cake is dry did not measure the flour AFTER sifting. If you measure first and sift second, you will be using too much flour resulting in a dry cake. If you forget to measure after sifting and started mixing the cake already, then just add maybe 1/2 cup more liquid either water or milk based on how thick the batter is. But please, always measure after sifting to avoid dry cakes!!!
