How did it turn out?
It I a 5 star recipe - but what did I do wrong? It is so dense -and I know I baked it long enough. I am thinking to use self-rising flour plus the the 1 tsp of baking soda. It is delicious but dense. If I "toast" it is YUM but I feel it should be a tad lighter. where did I go wrong?
Looks and sound delicious. Can you sub Almond Flour?
Looks good but for kids can I substitute wine with milk or water ?
It sounds good but haven’t made it yet. Wondering what could I substitute for the white wine
Has anyone added Zucchini. Need to use Zucchini up.
