    You look Regal - Like the Daughter of a King :curtsey:

    Oh, and the key to a moist cake is to not OVERBAKE it - I always take mine out of the oven 5-10 minutes before the recipe calls for...If it says "Bake for 45 minutes," I'll take it out in 35-40 minutes - You know it still "cooks" for several minutes once you remove it from the oven, right?

    Thanks Romans828! The timing of getting the cake out of the oven is something I hadn't considered, thanks again.

    ...and sour cream chocolate cakes are exceptionally good too:

    For Chocolate, there's something called a Chocolate Sheet Cake that is amazing...
    I'm always looking for new recipes, care to share yours?

    Totally agree with Romans, you look so elegant!

    ...and I agree about being careful not to overbake too. I started having an issue a few years ago where some of my things were getting over done so I got an oven thermometer and discovered that my oven was operating at 50 degrees over where I set it! It works fine except for that issue so now I always set it at 50 degrees lower than the recipe calls for. Maybe check to see if your oven is setting at the right temp too.

    I always exchange butter for oil and use buttermilk. The oven temp hint is a great one. I have an electric oven and it bakes extra hot.
