Yummy cake Nadushinka
Thank you Natashenka!
i love your recipies!!!! … is there any way you can add the time it takes to make these? i would be super helpful
Thank you! Not at this time ,sorry. But I would consider about 2 +/-. It does require cooling the cake.
I baked the 3 cakes but they didn’t seem to rise that much. Any idea why that would happen? Not sure if I should cut them in half or not as they are pretty thin. Or is that the way they are supposed to be?
They will not be very high,but it should be thick enough to slice the cake in half.Make sure your baking soda and powder is not too old.It should be about 1 1/2 inch – 2 inches high.
I really liked your post. I read your blog quite often and I
just shared it on Facebook. Keep up the good work.
Excellent recipe
