This cake is moist yet very durable and will hold up to many shapes and designs. It is light in taste and stays moist if making a day or two ahead.

I don't know why you needed to capitalize the letters of my name here^. Usually, that's shouting at someone.
I am far from being comfortable navigating this website because I tend to only look at the business threads. But if you go to the top of this website page and look at the categories.... The second one from the left says "RECIPES", click on it, than choose "Most Viewed". The recipes listed under that are the recipes referred to repeatedly in threads. You can read peoples review of each recipe too. It's extremely helpful and it actually can give you more insight for what the majority of people liked and recipes that worked the best, than you might learn in this thread.....where people can and will throw out random recipes.
Aim tired and I could've sworn I saw your name in all caps,but I see im clearly wrong.wasnt tryna yell.think im use to facebook tagging people when you type the name..again my apologies,wasnt yelling at ypu about me being new.lol thanx for the help navigating!!!
