I absolutly loved this cake. It was very easy to make and the cream cheese kept this cake so moist. A delicious cake to enjoy with a special friend and a cup of tea on Sunday morning
Loved it! I would add a little granulated sugar to the topping for sweetness.
Is there a way to print the recipe without the picture? It’s frustrating to have to copy the body of the recipe over to Word to get a single page print-out.
Hi there. Unfortunately, we do not have a way of customizing what displays in the recipe print view. If you only want the ingredients and directions to print, the best way is to do what you are doing — copy and paste the exact text into a Word document before printing. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank You gonna try it soon.
Made this cake! Family loved it and my sister wanted the recipe. It was light and moist and not too sweet. I wouldn’t want to add more sugar to the topping.
