This was really horrible! From over to bin…such a disappointment. Are you certain the amount are correct? The batter was not pourable at all.
I really like the idea of this cake, but it would have been helpful to show a side shot of the cake slice, to show the consistency of the cake once cooked…do you have one to share? Thanks!
