โLove this recipe! Made the cake for my daughter's birthday with a strawberry cream cheese frosting and got so so many compliments on the whole thing and also the cake part. My guests thought it was from a bakery. Going to be using it for cupcakes for friend's โ โ a cook, 5.0โ
โNot sure what happened. I followed everything carefully but the cake did not have a good texture. The flavor was good but it was a bit dry. Did not over bake nor overmix. It's an expensive cake to have flop.โ โ a cook, 3.0โ
