I just made this cake and I’m wondering – is it supposed to be sooo spongey?

This looks awesome! I’m making it today to serve as a dessert for Christmas. I will be drenching it in Amarula cream liqueur and decorating it with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. I’m very excited!

Someone mentioned substitutions… I like to use http://www.foodsubs.com it’s very handy.

Cream of tartar: “Substitute lemon juice (use 3 times as much)” (it also mentions vinegar but since this is a cake lemon juice seems more appropriate).

Cake flour: “Substitute 7/8 cup all-purpose flour for each cup of cake flour and add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch for every 7/8 cup all-purpose flour used. Cakes made with all purpose flour tend to be less delicate and crumbly.”

Hope that info helps anyone needing it. Thank you for the yummy recipe!

… we’re fans, as always. Love the way you show REAL cooking, as it is
This cake, I must say, looks like a gem? I’m digging the colors (hence, I’m sure, the name “daffodil cake”). And I’m quite sure this is one of the most perfect spring cakes a girl could make.

YUM.

In a Mennonite Cookbook I have, there’s a recipe for daffadil cake AND one for lily cake, made much the same way.}:P

Very cool to see what the actual cake looks like!
