THE best recipe I’ve ever tried the cake is beautiful and full of taste even tho I replaced the vanilla extract with powdered vanilla sugar.

So yummy! I used Betty Crocker whipped frosting with crushed Oreo bits to ice the outside and Betty Crocker buttercream between layers/for the piping. The density of the cake was great.

The recipe was AMAZING. I had to add a little bit more milk but other than that,I’m going to use this recipe more often.

This was really easy to make. I filled my cake with homemade strawberry jam and cream cheese frosting, topped with graham cracker crumbs, and oh my gosh! Delicious. The cake has the perfect texture and moist. My kids and husband loved it. I will save this recipe for sure.

Best vanilla cake I've ever had and I didn't even have real butter, I used margerine and maple syrup in place of the extract. yum!!!!!

It was a bit too sweet, but overall a decent cake. It was very fluffy, like it said, but was hard to get out of the pans due to it easily breaking.
