Possibly the worst cake everJune 16, 2008By PAC6438
"First the ingredients show all the items supposedly needed but the directions leave two out for inclusion. The cake layers sunk in the middle and cake did not rise properly. Suspect typo error in ingredients. From the ingredients list one would think a good cake, but no so. Time consuming without a good result to make the time spent worthwhile. Tasted only okay but dense (probably from not rising properly) and sloppy. Throwing this receipe away."
