I just made this recipe. Taste good . But next time I'm going to adding Almond Extract. And using unsalted butter. Pretty much salty when I was tasting. So omit saltiness . Rather than that I'm going to make again. Thanks.
ReplyMade this cake today but switched the sugar with monkfruit sweetener to keep it low carb. Cake is delicious and quite easy to make. The filling and frosting is so good I would be tempted to eat it by itself
ReplyMade this cake today. The crust didn't rise in the oven. Came out flat as a pancake. I think this is because there were no flower. The taste is good, the look is disappointing.
ReplyThis cake is pretty decent but next time i am going to add extra sugar and almonds
ReplyJust wondering, you don’t add any flour or starch for the cream and cake,right.
