Although this cake is perfectly fine without icing I can
I made this cake last week and it is delicious. The cake is tender and soft. I used a thick Greek strawberry yoghurt as it needed using up and I iced the cake with a vanilla buttercream to make it more like a ginger kiss in each bite. This recipe has been added to my family favourites folder.
Hello I made this cake , but it has set hard the sugar ratio seems incorrect – is it really 2 cups?!
