this came out great , but did cut down on the sugar. 3/4 sugar and 1 c brown sugar , the sweetness was just right and instead of 1 c milk I added 1 c. greek style yogurt , really moist.

This cake was very well received by adults and kids when I made it for my Mother's 65th birthday. I did make a change that was necessary due to items on hand. I was out of vanilla extract so I used pure almond extract in the cake. This change made the cake taste like a Madeline. I also took the previous reviewers recommendation and reduced the brown sugar to 1 cup packed in the frosting, as I do not like over sweet frosting. I did use vanilla extract in the frosting. I decorated with toasted almond only as raisins do not go over well with most of my family. I also shared a bit of the history of the cake.
I was looking for a yellow cake that wasn't as dense as a pound cake and used whole eggs. This fit the bill. I made the cake exactly as written and baked in mini fluted tube pan. The cake didn't brown much on top, but the texture was good. I missed salt and would add that next time. I followed others advice and reduced sugar to 1 cup for frosting. Came out great. It was my first time making boiled frosting and I liked the marshmallow fluff-esque texture that also held it's shape when piped. Thanks for this recipe! It's a keeper
