Today was the first cake I ever made that wasn't from a box. This recipe was fairly easy. I'm a newbie but there are definitely changes I would make if I made the cake again. First I would have to try another flavor besides the almond it is over powering the vanilla its the only thing I taste and maybe a little more sugar. Could anyone tell me how it would change the cake if I only added four eggs instead of five? Or how to add more moisture to this cake. Wasn't bad but if I could get it more like the texture of a box cake I would be happier.

This is the second time I have tried this recipe and I think it's the worst recipe I've ever had the misfortune to run across. The batter does not rise, it smells like pure egg (other recipes I've seen don't call for anywhere near the amount of egg as this one does) I was making this for a show and wanted a dense cake for the base of a 4-tier cake to hold up. I've made over 200 flowers, jewelry, etc. and now I won't be able to show because I've put too much money into this mess. I wish I had used box cake mix instead.
