Cake Like Cornbread??????!?!

Hey everyone -
I'm brand new here - and first off, all I gotta say is thank God for this site! I've made cakes in the past, but at the time I lived in America and mostly used boxed cake mixes. I now live in England and they don't have the insane selection of cake mixes like they do in America. In fact, it's impossible to find a simple yellow cake mix anywhere. So, as you can guess, I've got to make 'em from scratch - which is fine with me. But (there's always a "but") - I tried the Versatile Buttercake recipe from this site today, and it turned out like cornbread! I used "Plain Flour", which may be the problem - it isn't super refined. The taste was just nasty, and it didn't bake nicely AT ALL - it didn't rise in the middle, ended up being all thick-ish - just gross! My cake-monster 3-year-old son wouldn't even touch it. Haha - it even smelled weird. Any ideas? I've taken on the task of making my own wedding cake - good thing I have 8 months!
i haven't used this recipe so heres a bump!
