I just made this cake and it was great! The only thing that I changed was the flour. instead of all purpose I used cake flour. I feel cake flour has better texture than all purpose when it comes to cakes.

This cake is amazing!!! My friend and I barely ever bake so we weren't sure if we were making it correctly. Luckily for us, it was an easy recipe to put together and it ended up tasting amazing in the end!
