i modified this for a 9" round cake instead of a 6". I kept in mind that one review stated that recipe had to be doubled in order to make enough for 2 6" pans,I also read that one reviewer had the cake fall so I was very carefull, fresh baking soda, buttermilk etc and it still fell, however the flavor was excellent. I will attempt again only lower temp and longer bake time, more like a bundt or carrot cake as it is very dense but soooo, sooo delicious, best frosting as well. I added maple flavoring for extra "maple" flavor.<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"05\/25\/2011 12:41","GUID":"2942f1a7619e41f8ac7e869c1dba2c39","MemberId":5963571,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"denise","SubmittedDate":"05\/25\/2011 12:41"},{"Comment":"

This cake was delicious! I make it exactly as written, only I substituted 2 tbsp buttermilk powder and 1\/2 cup water for the 1\/2 cup buttermilk. (Buttermilk powder is very useful if you are like me and rarely use buttermilk because it lasts alot longer than buttermilk) There is one thing I will do differently next time: I will grease and flour the baking pans instead of just use cooking spray, because my cake fell apart as it was coming out because it was stuck to the pan!

Cake Flopping? Soda must be fresh and if you don't have butter milk adding a table spoon or less of Vinager in with milk works just as well. When you bake with these ingrediants that is what makes the cake rise...

Due to the comments here, we retested the cake again as printed. It worked just fine with no issues. It is correct that the recipe does not contain eggs. A possible reason for unfavorable results would be using the wrong size pan. This recipes uses 6-in. cake pans. If you only have 9-in. pans, double the ingredient amounts and bake a few minutes longer.<\/p>
