Tonight I came across this recipe and decided to try it. But not before reading the reviews on it from the original site. Well, I found nothing too alarming there, so I decided to move forward with the recipe. I choose not bake it in a bundt cake pan. Instead, I baked it in 3 aluminum bread pans. And the results?? The cake came out really good. Not too sweet. Not dry. Not bland. Just lightly flavored and very lightly sweetened. It's perfect. So for anyone who thinks it has an eggy taste, which mine Doesn't have, consider trying Pasteurized egg whites. (An explanation follows this comment) As for the cake.... I will definitely be making this again and it'll be perfect for Christmas. Heck, it's perfect for every day eating. *** Here are two things I did differently...(1) I used 4 Jumbo sized eggs, because that was all I had. Then I added 6 Tablespoons of Pasteurized Egg Whites because I have plenty of those. ***3 Tablespoons = 1 whole egg. (2) I added 1 teaspoon of Vanilla flavoring AND 1 teaspoon of Almond extract. Yup. I added both. With great results. I highly recommend this cake.
