  1. My previous review just wasn't good enough as I was in a hurry to get it posted. Ladies and gentlemen you MUST try this cake! This is one of the best cakes I have ever made. Everybody who has tasted it has said so! The cake is so light and buttery with a hint of lemon flavor. It has been described as a cross between a sponge and pound cake. It is just amazing. I followed the directions exactly beating after each addition of egg and alternating between the milk and flour and this is how you really must do this. Also, please don't substite the butter it really is amazing and makes the cake!
     
  2. I really liked the rich buttery taste of this cake, and how easy and quick it was to prepare it! I used it as yellow cake in your Latiya recipe and it was such a fantastic combination! Thanks for another great recipe ChamoritaMomma! :)
