Allow to cool completely, then cover tightly and keep in the fridge until ready to glaze and serve. This cake also freezes well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Hi, I recently just made this and I made sure I had all the exact ingredients and followed step by step. But when I started mixing in the dry ingredients the mixture started becoming incredibly dry, so dry that it felt as if I was making dough. I had to add a bit of milk since my hand felt like it was about to fall off and even then it was still super dense, and I didn’t wanna add anymore since I didn’t want to deviate from your resipe. Do you have any idea why this happened? Thank you and I think the idea of the is great.

Hi Cinthya, I'm sorry you're having trouble with my recipe. My cake batters are normally on the thick side, but never too thick that it's almost dough-like. It does sound to me like too much flour. Did you weigh your flour out in grams or did you use cups?

For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough.

I hope this helps.
