I made this cake for a 40th birthday a month ago and people are still talking about it. I'm making it for another birthday this weekend and it was requested by someone who had it at the previous party. ablanydia - I do think it would make a wonderful wedding cake. OH, and I added just a bit of cocunut extract to the mix. I layered with chream cheese icing and pecans in the middle.

I made this cake for a church get together, and the family has asked that I do the groom's cake using the same recipie, everyone RAVED over it.

I made this to use for my final cake in my Fondant class. The only problem I have is that when the cakes cooled, they lost their shape. The top and bottom kept their shape, but the middle shrank and the whole shape of the cake changed. I made 3 different pans, and all 3 did the same thing.

I make a recipe similar to this one, but i use french vanilla cake mix; but i never thought of adding sour cream and buttermilk. It sounds yummy. I'm making your recipe today for a woman's get together tomorrow. I'm sure it will become one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.
