Sorry I have just realised I typed 2 tablespoons in my previous review. This was because I made double the quantity of mixture.

I made this cake today and it tastes excellent but I was a little surprised to see how much vanilla extract was used in the recipe. Is this correct, 2 tablespoons? It was easy to make which is always a bonus! :)
