I made this cake for the second time today. It is dynamite! I used a really heaping 1/2 cup of sugar, and the extra sweetness was perfect. I zested a lemon into the batter, and used a full teaspoon of vanilla (no buttery flavor on hand), and that really put it over the top! My family of four wiped out the entire cake in one sitting. Just delicious! I did have to bake it and extra 10-15 minutes, but ovens do vary. The cake was creamy, custardy, and melted in my mouth. Next time I think I'll try Flor de Sicilia instead of vanilla, just to see if I like it. But my first attempt was good, and my second cake was off the charts!! Thanks for a really terrific recipe!
