Hello Jeannette. That is a very beautiful cake.

Did you read How to bake the perfect Dominican cake? I suggest you do. The key to this is that you follow the instructions meticulously and respect the proportions of the ingredients. I assure you that this is the exact recipe I use, and have been successful in baking this cake. The only recent change I've done to the recipe is using 50/50 margarine/butter, as opposed to only butter as I used to. Somebody passed that tip on to me and it seems to really make the cake fluffier.
