    " It was not good "
    Baking101 ate it and said...
    Made this recipe twice. Before baking made sure of the following:
    1. Oven preheated 2. Oven temperature correct (used oven thermometer) 3. Timer set 4. All ingredients correctly measured and laid out before starting 5. Cake flour used.
    Result: Because there was no baking soda and baking powder in the recipe, the cake did not rise. Forget about splitting the cake it 2 to spread the cream filling. The cakes were so dense and flat.
    Solution: Since ingredients are expensive and it would be a shame to throw it, I converted it into a peach/fruit cocktail trifle
