This is way too much work for the product you get. I thought the cake was a bit too dense. However, I used bread flour, so maybe this messed it up. I think a glaze would be much better rather than the sauce which only soaked through the very middle of the cake -- I poured it over each piece after I sliced it. I will not make this again -- sorry.1Reply
