Always works. We use it as a base to make many different cakes.

very yummy, my husband enjoyed it and I am not much of a cake person but this cake was so good and fluffy. Going to make some more. The cake didn't rise well hence the 4 stars and not a 5. Am about to make it again and maybe add a bit more baking powder.

Mac

Very good, use orange zest instead of vanilla essence
