[email protected]I was disappointed with this recipe. The cake didn't rise properly and it was quite dense. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]The cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added a bit more butter or milk. But the almond flavor was spot on!
