    This is a very nice cake, almost perfect—beautiful soft and light texture with just the right amount of sweetness. I made a half recipe and baked it in 2-6” pans. Bake time was 30 minutes. The batter filled the pan 3/4 but it did not overflow. Had a nice dome but after resting for 5 minutes flattened out. I did not have to cut the cake to level it. The only change I might make in the future would be to split the layers to get 4 thinner layers and therefore some strawberries, cream, and cake in every bite. (My layers were 2” thick.)

    Absolutely delicious! I just need to make sure I use an aluminum pan and not a non-stick pan next time so that the chiffon stays light and fluffy. Also really delicious with toasted almond slivers on the sides to hide my crappy frosting ability.

    Everything about this cake is perfect and the vanilla syrup puts it over the top. Very light and not too sweet.

    This cake is perfect. I don't like overly sweet deserts and it was light, and airy and delicious. everyone loved it. I will make this over and over again

    Excellent cake, light with just the right sweetness. I made 1/2 recipe using 6" pans; baking time was the same. Served with extra strawberries. Next time I'd make slightly more whipped cream for better coverage.

    Wonderful cake. Light and incredibly moist. Ratio of whipped cream, strawberries to cake is perfect. And I agree with previous comment on this cake...peaches would be amazing!!!

    Lovely cake. Simple, light and fluffy. Layers were quite thick, making for a nicely tall cake. In the photo it looks like the amount of whipped cream might be a little much, but we found it to be just right. Ratio of cake to fruit is just a bit higher than we’d prefer, but the cake is light and tasty, so it’s not a big deal. My wife mentioned she thought this would be really good made with peaches, too, and I agree.
