My mother made this cake into cupcakes and we had them for every birthday. The only change I made was to make cream cheese frosting instead of buttercream. I made them for my children and my grandchildren and hopefully before too long my great-grandchildren. It was, is and will always be a winner!
This is the best white on white birthday cake ever! It is better than almost all professional bakeries. Grocery store cakes do not even come close to this.

When I was growing up, my mother made this cake regularly for dessert for our family. It was a favorite, and I am delighted to find the recipe online.
We made this cake for many years! It is scrumptious!

I made this cake and it was delicious.. I also made the whipping cream pound cake and it was delicious and the moisture in both cakes was perfect..
