This cake is excellent. However, reading the recipe was a little confusing. Now I am not Betty Crocker mind you but I beat the egg whites and then put everything else in without mixing the other ingred. and then folding them into the eggs. And I only had 4 eggs. I didn't think it would rise. It took 55 minutes (I turned the oven down a little after 35 minutes). The cake turned out fine. It is EXCELLENT!

I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby
My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby.
My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands.
He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
