A wonderful cake given to me by a Mohawk Indian after a bake off at the Fryeburg Fair here in Maine. It is heavy in weight but light in taste.

It's difficult to rate this recipe what with the baking powder overload! Two TABLESPOONS? I'll play devil's advocate and give this recipe four stars and the benefit of the doubt that a typo is at work here! I used two TEASPOONS of baking powder and ended up with an absolutely perfect white cake. In fact I'd consider this a great go-to recipe for all those of us who are constantly searching for that elusive good and dependable white cake. Nope - this doesn't have a "corn bread texture." Yes it is light tender and pleasantly sweet and vanilla scented. Nope - it isn't dry. Yes it is still sturdy enough for layers. But do NOT use 2 T. of baking powder! I melted the butter and milk together in the microwave while I mixed the eggs and sugar. I didn't bother to sift the flour and baking powder and I added 1/2 tsp. salt to heighten the flavor. I baked this as cupcakes pouring the batter easily (don't worry when you see how thin it is!) into the cupcake liners. Baked them about 20 minutes. I can't imagine the issues one might have with this cake if baked with so much baking powder - dryness? Caving in? Coarse corn bread texture? Perhaps this is why so few have reviewed this recipe and the last review was nearly three years ago! But with this one change this just might be a 5-star recipe. With its unusual name I'm sure I'll remember this recipe the next time I need a good white cake. Read More

Well the cake batter tasted good and the aroma was just as sweet. My son saw it and could wait to try it. So as soon as it was cool enough we cut into it. Wow a sweet biscuit disguised as cake. That's why I rated it only a one for as a cake oh no way! Next time I make it I will put it into muffin tins and call them sweet biscuits. Thanks for sharing the most interesting bicuit cake I've ever tasted. Read More

We love this cake. It's quick and easy and tastes great. Dust with confectioners sugar for a finished look. It won me a second prize in the Hardwick Community Fair - oldest fair in the country! Read More

Very light fluffy easy to make cake. I expected it to be like a pound cake but it was more like a rich sponge cake.I silced in in half and filled it with sugared strawberries and whipped cream for a great strawberry shortcake! Read More

Tasted great - light and fluffy. One of my guests described it as tasting like "sweet muted cornbread". I added a raspberry drizzle to the top to add some color and sweetness a bit and everyone who had some loved it. I also subsituted Splenda with no problems. Read More
