I made this cake for a wedding shower and it taste great! However, it seemed a little dry, can you tell me what I could have done wrong?

turned out great!!! do you think I could flavor it before I add egg whites?? I think this would be great to make a lemon cake

I made this cake for a last minute order and I have never been more embarrassed. It was dry with no flavor. I am known for moist cakes but didn't have any supplies for my normal recipe. I will try this one more time to see if I did it wrong but both cake layers (made two batches of this recipe) and both turned out horrible. It tasted very breadish.
