I made this yesterday for a group luncheon. Everyone liked it!
Wanted to mention that the “minutes to bake” did not make it into the print version of the recipe at the bottom. I scrolled up and found it above, though.
Hi Tiffani, I’m so glad everyone enjoyed this cake. Thank you for letting me know, I did fix the instructions to make sure the minutes were stated. :)
