Lynn (Minnesota) says:

I made the middle cake. I think it turned out very well. Not what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised. My son loved it. He said it reminded him of Jiffy corn bread (it did, a little) and asked if I could make that instead of corn bread from now on! We'll see...but I will be making it again.

Made the middle cake yesterday, delicious! Not too sweet but added Penzeys cake spice to it. Reminded me of an old fashioned cake my grandmother made. The frosting was also delicious, though I added more powdered sugar than called for.

AWESOME CAKE!! My family liked the cake more than the great toppings I did for it. (1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tub whipped cream, 2 pkgs of cream cheese, cover top of each layer only, then drizzle canned pie fillings. I used blue berry) The cake is rich and an interesting texture. Sort of thick and vaporous.
