  • “We liked this! It was fairly quick and easy to make, as promised. It produced a cake that was slightly dense; if I were not serving this to my child I would infuse this with rum or fruit flavored liqueurs and top with jam and whipped cream. But the kids liked it with icing topped with a rainbow of sprinkles. (They can wait a few years for that rum!!! LOL) Thanks, Inez!”

  • “I used 2 9 inch pans, greased them and baked for 25 minutes. I divided the batter into 7 bowls and added rainbow colored food coloring. You know – ROY G BIV. Anyway, after adding the colors I split the bowls between both pans in order- 1st the red, then orange, yellow, etc. keeping each new color inside the other. It made a circular rainbow cake that was delicious. I’m a little OCD, but you can put whatever color pattern you want. It was really good!”

  • “This is a great recipe! I made it for my family, and they wanted the recipe! Thank you so much!”

  • “Delicious!”

  • “My boyfriend and friends loved this cake as much as I loved how easy it was to make!I used a simple bakery frosting and really enjoyed how this treat was indulgent but not too sweet. I do wish there had been a suggestion along with the recipe to maybe soak the cake in a little milk or liqueur. Will definately make this one over and over!”

  • “Great cake! Everyone loved it!”

  • “This is the first white cake I have made from scratch. It was really easy to make but it was more of a dense cake than what I was looking for. However, it had a good flavor and I’m sure I will make it again.”

  • “We loved this. This is only my second time baking a cake like this from scratch. The first time was a bummer but this one was great. Moist, light and yummy. I used a butter cream icing. I’ll be using this recipe again. Thank you for posting this. Oh, I didn’t exactly follow the instructions to a T (I am bad at doing that that) I started pouring everything into the mixer b4 reading the order of things. So everything except the milk went in first and then as it was mixing I poured in the milk. Obviously it didn’t hurt anything.”

  • “Quick and easy is right!Super moist,kinda dense cake.Very pleased with the outcome.Certainly a great recipe to keep around for when you need a yummy quick dessert in a pinch.”
