    This cake turned out delicious despite my mess ups. My mom said it taste like it came from a bakery. I was a little worried as i forgot to put one half cup of the sugar flour mixture in the cake batter. Also I do not have a double boiler so i melted the white choc in microwave. I should have melted it longer because it needs to be very soft for the frosting as my frosting was a bit hard, still the cake is tremendous. Next time i want to try that wine cooler in there yummy. This was the yummiest home cooked from scratch I have ever made. Despite the messups it was so good the best ever I am fixing to make this cake for a baby shower Im making three layers light blue icing. I want it to look really nice and I know on some cakes fore the cake to turn out smooth you have to use a certain type of icing. Will this icing work? Do you know how I would also make the decorative icing that goes around the cake using the same recipe? If not ill figure something out. If you check this let me know. I love this recipe  -  21 Jul 2001  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

    This recipe was easy to follow-inexpensive-and turned out wonderful! It will be a cake recipe I will use in the future! I did however substitute pure vanilla extract for the almond extract-Also, I made the white chocolate icing with Vanilla extract, and it is great icing. My family loved it.  -  24 Feb 2006  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

    I was very disappointed with this cake. Although it tasted good, I expected a light and fluffy cake. This was dense like a poundcake. The frosting was very tasty, though. I replaced one tablespoon of the water with white chocolate liquer and it really added a great flavor.  -  26 Feb 2002  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
