Baking?
Experimenting with baking even though it isn’t always my strong suit. Baking can be intimidating when everyone says it is a specific science, and while in most cases this is true, this cake is pretty forgiving. I have made it a couple of times and made mistakes multiple times and guess what it’s still delicious, not overly sweet, and great for days. As always, full recipe is on the blog!
