I can't believe you had the nerve to admit what I, and I suspect many others, have thought. My family prefers DH's classic yellow cake to all others, but not from a lack of trying to make a moist and tender cake with a tight crumb. I will try this for the next birthday. PJ, your posts always bring a smile to my face. Thank you! I was hesitant indeed - who wants to admit they can't bake a cake as good as Duncan? Believe me, we all secretly whisper about this in the test kitchen... but the result is, we work extra-hard to figure out how to address this issue! This recipe is one result. Give it a try and let us know what you think, Laurie - PJH
