INFO & TIPS

I always use lesser sugar in all my cake recipes as I dont like the sticky texture that forms on top.
So I remove 2 Tblsp of sugar per cup.
I do the same with this recipe.
The icing is a butter icing that I posted in my Butter Cake recipe, I only added 1 and half tablespoon cocoa to it.!
Enjoy.
