   I think it doesn’t matter, she did say the measurement isn’t needed, just put how much butter you like and then just estimate how much powdered sugar you will need and adjust it, add more powdered sugar if its a little too soft or add milk if its too dry…

   The cardboard is used so that when you slice the upper tier (when ready to be eaten) , the bottom tier will not be ruined, so when you cut it, the cardboard serves as a “plate” or support for the upper tier.

   Where do you get Passion Fruit Puree in North Carolina? It’s not available in any of my local grocery stores, and the only place I could find it online was in Napa, CA….for 17.50 each plus $70 shipping….

   Hello Supersarang,

   Buttermilk and Soured milk are fairly interchangeable and you can ‘make’ soured milk by adding a little lemon juice to whole milk. I do this all the time because my family love sodabread and buttermilk scones.

   Hope this helps!

   It’s been a while since I made it, but from what I remember, the moisture was alright, pretty good, it was soft, and pretty much light weight.

   Hi there. I was just wondering how the cake was like in terms of texture and moisture. Could you give me an idea? Thanks.

   True that. There’s a difference between “1 cup sifted flour” and “1 cup flour, sifted” . The former requires sifting before measurement and the latter measurement before sifting.

   Let me explain further. When I need three cups of sifted flour I would sift about four cups into a large bowl. Then I use a tin measuring cup and scoop up three cups of the already sifted flour out of the bowl. I don’t take three cups of unsifted flour and sift them directly into the mixing bowl as was done in the video. That would give me probably about a cup of extra flour. I’m not trying to be obnoxious or anything. It’s just that this is how I do it.

    How rude! I did watch the video and if you read it. (I watched it for a third time). They dump three cups of unsifted flour into the sifter first. The flour needs to be sifted before measuring the three cups. Otherwise you end up with too much flour and you get a bready cake.

    uh oh! WRONG!!! You need to sift the flour first before measuring!!!! When I checked unsifted flour with sifted you end up with about a half cup more flour per cup than if you sift it first. Makes for a much lighter cake!

    If someone from realmeals could post the size pans used and timings I’ll definitely give this a go!

    There’s a mistake on this video as she says add 1 table spoon of baking powder but the text instructions say 1 teaspoon? Then she doesn’t tell you whet size pans she uses and how long each one has to bake for!
