I made this cake yesterday for a British expat friend leaving the kingdom after 26 years. Please bear in mind I am reviwing this cake with out tasting it. Whilst the cake was baking I had to steap out for a while and left my domestic maid in charge, Its a possibility she left it too long in the oven cuz it was abit dry and crumbly, it also cracked quite abit. I iced it with your lavender rose icing. I had asked my friend this morning what she though about the cake and her complain was too dry,but she loved the lavender taste and it was just right for her. I will try this cake again for myself, when i do I will review it again
