  1. Loved the flavor!! It's very refreshing! Not sure if it was just my attempt, but the cake seemed a little dry...I'm thinking I might add some more "moisture" to the batter next time or could easily substitute a store-bought white cake mix (for times when I want something quick and easy). Also, the frosting on my cake covered only the middle layer and the top of the cake (which made for a pretty presentation); Next time, I'm going to try to double the frosting recipe and frost the whole cake.
