This dry as can be cake came from Just Plain Cooking. I made half, dividing the batter between two 6"x2" round pans, made a layer cake out it that was 3.5" tall. They baked in 26 minutes (there was still wet batter on the toothpick after 24 minutes) and are extremely dry. I added 1/4 c. pureed maraschino cherries, 1/4 c. ground toasted almonds, 1/4 t. almond extract and I used less vanilla than called for. The cake is made with equal parts butter and shortening and egg whites only, not whole eggs. I made my own yellow tinted frosting for it.
I give this 1 star. It's dry and is a big disappointment.
