Unfortunately I did not read the reviews first. I will in future. It took an extra 15 minutes to cook and then was very grainy as though the sugar had not fully melted. Very difficult to ice as it kept falling apart. Not quite the 21st birthday cake I was hoping to make for my newly vegan (for health reasons) daughter. We are both gluten free so I'm used to adjusting receipes, but didn't think I would have to for one advertised as vegan and GF.
Love this?
I was hoping that this would work but it did not! It was not cooked in 25 minutes so I gave it another 10 mins. It was cooked but fell apart when I put it onto the cooling rack! its not a cheap recipe so please can you get it right! the one star is for flavour
