Made it this morning and followed the recipe almost exactly.  The bitter taste others are complaining about is too much baking powder which does leave a bitter taste.  I added vanilla and although it did add to the taste, it wasn't enough to disguise the baking powder.  Next time I will decrease the baking powder to 1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons.  Otherwise it is a very good recipe and I will make it again.
