Okay, I have no prior experience on what an Epiphany Cake is supposed to taste like. I didn't have a 3 inch high cake pan to make this in, so I used a bundt pan instead. The cake is more dense than a normal cake, my hubby said it is more like a bread than a cake. It hasn't stopped him from eating it - he's already had two pieces. Maybe a little less flour would help with that, or like you said, add more milk. Thanks for posting Annacia! This was a great recipe to try out and super easy - especially compared to other Epiphany cakes.
