    The cake was dense, and lacked flavor. But worst of all, my icing was "soupy". I don't know where I went wrong with the icing but it never thickened. It was like eating cornbread with a cup of hot chocolate. I was quite disappointed.

    Cake had a fine crumb and the buttercream was light with just the right amount of kick to it. Received rave reviews - even from two people who admitted that they were not cake/dessert people, but loved this. _Carl the Cake Guy

    This is an easy great tasting cake. Big problem for us who are not on the metric scale. Why would you post a 1/2 us & metric measurements. NEED THIS CORRECTED PREP TIME WITH OUT CONVERSION IS 2 HOURS.

    I did not make the frosting, however, the cake was soft and moist. It has a very warm, sentimental flavor. I used a coconut infused frosting and filling that went fantastically.

    This recipe is a basic yellow cake recipe, based on a ratio: 1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour 4 eggs. It can produce a moist, delicious yellow cake, or something akin to fluffy cardboard. How do you get the former, and not the cardboard? Don't overbake. Literally, check the cake as soon as the timer goes off. I usually know it's time when I smell cake: That aroma occurs when the cake begins to shrink, ie, when the liquid begins to leave the cake. If you wait too long, the cake dries out, and you get cardboard. If a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out dry, or with cake-like crumbs, the cake is done. I hope this advice helps!

    Everyone loved this spicy cake. I actually cheated on the frosting though: I took two packages of store bought dark chocolate fudge frosting and added the spices and the vanilla and it turned out amazing.

    it was a lot of work. the frosting looked like marshmallow before the butter was added until it mixed in very well. it was twice the frosting needed, but if you know how to defrost it properly then you can freeze it and bring the frosting back to life later. cook the cake at 300 instead and make sure to not overcook it. everyone raved! it was a hit!!!!
