Hi Lori. Hmm... that is very strange! This cake is quite moist and has a texture somewhere between sponge and pound cake. We've been experiencing some pretty dry weather around here, so it's possible that you may have needed a little extra liquid to make up for the lack of moisture in the air. Either that, or holding back a couple tablespoons of the flour, should help give less dry results.
Another common reason cakes can have a dry texture is if they're baked just a little too long, so it's possible they baked quicker than the recipe suggested. We'd like to get some additional details about your experience so we can help further, and ask that you please call our free and friendly Baker's Hotline staff at 855-371-BAKE (2253). Thank you!
