It's light, fluffy and tastes amazing! It can be used as a cupcake recipe as well but then you will have to reduce the baking time to 10-15min.

Hi there Amaarah, trust you doing well, tied your recipe unfortunately didn't turn out as our, hope you can assist me in where I went wrong. The text of the cake I baked is yellow in colour and the texture surely doesn't look as your does -mine as a much moister look if one can call it that please let me have your thought.
