The only thing I did differently for this recipe was used normal granulated sugar instead of castor sugar and it still turned out wonderfully. It was very easy to make and turned out very moist and delicious. Was a big hit.
Excellent! I added 3 teaspoons of almond extract to the recipe. It was delicious.
