Unfortunately there was nothing that I liked about this cake. It was fairly dry and we didn't care for the taste.

NOT the most moist cake I have ever made. The icing was wonderful.
I love that this cake is strictly homemade, not one of those crappy box cakes. And I only have one word to describe it, TASTY!!! I made it for my mom's birthday and she loved it!

I did this recipe as a single cake, instead of a layered cake, and it still turned out beautifully (obviously used less icing though, and baked for a bit longer) was a big hit at work!
